Captain Hammer (to Old Gent, who looks as if he would object to Smoking). “Beg parson, would object to Change your Carriage? Lady here — Large Family — Lots of Luggage — Young children — Eldest Boy just through Measles — Baby Teething — ”
Old Gent (with alacrity). “Oh, certainly! certainly!”
[Has the satisfaction of seeing the Lady still on the Platform when the Train starts, while the Captain has the Carriag to himself.]
