Mary. (Falteringly.) Do you remember Bella and John in “Our Mutual Friend” that I read to you?
Jack. Yes. Warn’t they glorious?
Mary. Well, these are sails, Jack, sails for the little ship that’s coming across the water for you and me.
Mr. Herne as Reuben Foxglove in "The Minute Men." See page [544].
I quote a few lines from another scene.
Christmas morning. Hester and Silas, some young friends, have come in to take breakfast. All are seated at the table with much bustle and laughter. Lish Mead, Mary’s foster father, pokes his head in the door.
Lish Mead. Wish you Merry Christmas.
All. (Hilariously.) Merry Christmas! Come in.
