an you tell me if there's
any article here that's supposed to have belonged to ADAM?
_Policeman_ (_a wag in his way_). Well, Mum, we _'ave_ 'ad the 'andle
of his spade, and the brim of his garden 'at, but they wore out last
year and 'ad to be thrown away--things won't last for ever--even
_'ere_, you know.
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._
