Présentation de l'éditeur
I ttell, SCENE TAVERN OPPOSITE STAGE DOOR OF A THEATRE. Here, yer youngster, gimme yer hand! Come in; sit down. Now boys, Let shave a drink. A h, thats good! Say, Tom, theres such a noise Yer dbetter close the tavern door, for anyhow I reckon The rest othem folks can find the way without yer beck nin .Y ou actors are a good smart lot when taken as a whole; Of course, there are a few oyer a-lackin in the soul; But yer sort omind yer business and go yer humble way, So its none omy affairs if yer do turn night into day. Ugh! how cold it is! Tom, give us a good stiff drink And pile a log upon the fire; this sort omakes me think Oother Christmas nights round the blazin logs at home, Of days long gone and old friends, too. Yer see, Im all alone. Father and Mother and us lived on the farm; We ddogs and cats and hens and pigs, some horses in the barn. We had a house with brand new paint, folks said the best around; And corn and wheat and milk and eggs, the best that could be found. I didnt have much schoolin ;yer see, they needed me A bout the place to milk the cows or chop down some old tree; So Jack, he got the schoolin ,and Bill thats my name Was made to go without; but to me twas all the same. Once Pa and Ma were taken sick and when the winter came, Yer see, they died. Then Jack went West to make himself a name A mong the big folks there; he married a mighty fine young gal; Folks said she was the sweetest thing I think they called her Sal. Come, Tom, another drink! Boys, I haint begun to tell Half Ive forgot about a Heaven and all I know of Hell! Well, when I was left alone upon the dear old place, I got kind olonesome for the sight of a womans face. Straightenin up the big, square rooms was somehow out omy line; I wasnt such a powerful cook, nor even a housemaid fine.
