Jones. Yes; as you belongs to a society that don’t believe in fighting, and I does believe in that sort of thing, I thought I’d come and relieve you of that work, if there is any to be done.

Enter Glen and Melinda, R.

Mr. N. Good morning, friends. I hope thee rested well, last night.

Mrs. N. Yes, I hope thee had a good night’s rest.

Glen. I thank you, madam, we did.

Mr. N. I’ll introduce thee to our neighbor, James Jones. He’s a staunch friend of thy people.

Jones. I am glad to see you. I’ve come over to render assistance, if any is needed.

Mrs. N. Come, friends, take seats at the table. Thee’ll take seats there. [To Glen and Melinda.] [All take seats at the table.] Does thee take sugar and milk in thy tea?

Melinda. I thank you, we do.

Jones. I’ll look at your Tribune, Uncle Simeon, while you’re eating.
