Capt. G monologue (Act 1) — Captain Mary Miller : $b A drama

Hullo, Lorany! didn’t know yer was thar. What makes yer so glum? (_Aside_) Oh, the caarf, I bet! Say, Lorany, I’m plaguy sorry I sold the caarf. I’d buy her back, but the fellers ’d laf at me. I told some on ’em haow bad yer felt, daown to the store. And old Pete Rosson, he was a-sittin’ on a kintle o’ salt fish; he said: “Wimmin’s rights! I s’pose Mis’ Gandy went ter the meetin’ and heerd the lectur’-woman. I guess Mis’ Rosson wouldn’t dare ter complain ef I sold one o’ her caarfs. I’d let her know they was _mine_, double quick.” Won’t yer take up yer money, Lorany?
