Young Lady. We threw it out of the window.
Gentleman. Who told you to do that?
Lady. To accommodate you
Young Lady. How were we to suppose
Gentleman. But what am I to do now? The devil! These women— I ought to have known that you would be up to something!
Lady. If you are going to take it like this, sir
Gentleman. How the devil do you expect me to take it?
Lady. Why didn't you tell us what you were going to do?
Gentleman. Every time I go out do I have to hold up my hand to you? If you weren't irresponsible
Lady. I don't allow gentlemen to call me irresponsible; nor my daughter, either. Where are your manners?
Gentleman. Madam! Would you recognize them?
Lady. You don't know what you are talking about. You are the one who is irresponsible.
Gentleman. I?
Lady. Yes! You're mad! You're crazy!
Young Lady. Why, mamma!
Voice. Passengers who are going will please take the train! All aboard!
Lady. You can telegraph when we get to the next station.
Gentleman. I can, can I?— My bags! My bags!
Lady. A lady ought never to travel without a private compartment.
Gentleman. Oh, travel in the dog-car!
Lady. I? In the dog-car?
Gentleman. Chained.
Young Lady. Mamma! Mamma!
All talk at the same time.
