GOING OUT.

_A Peevish Old Man_. I ain't seen anything to call worth seeing,

_I_ ain't. In our museum at 'ome they've a lamb with six legs, and

hairylight stones as big as cannon-balls; but there ain't none of that

sort 'ere, and I'm dog-tired trapesing over these boards, I am!

_His Daughter_ (_a candid person_). Ah, I ought to ha' known it warn't

much good takin' _you_ out to enjoy yourself--you're too old, _you_

are!

_Ethel's Uncle_ (_cheerily_). Well, ETHEL, I think we've seen all

there is to be seen, eh?

_Ethel_. There's _one_ room we haven't been into yet, Uncle dear.

_Uncle_. Ha--and what's that?

_Ethel_ (_persuasively_). The _Refreshment_ Room.

[_The hint is accepted at last._
