MEDIATION.
[Scene—A room at Niagara Falls. The Argentine, the Brazilian and the Chilian mediators are mediating; that is to say, they are sitting on rocking chairs not very close to a large table covered with papers, pens, ink, etc. A deep noise of falling water pervades the air. Out of compliment to Canada the conversation is carried on in English.]
Argentine Mediator. Cold, isn't it?
Brazilian Mediator. Yes, there's a great deal of cold in the atmosphere.
Chilian Mediator. We often get it colder than this in Chili.
(A pause.)
A. M. There's a lot of water coming down.
B. M. Yes, and it keeps coming, too, doesn't it?
