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

hairy-light 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 taking _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._
