Oh!! !— Shut the door, please.Mrs. B.: Yes, we will shut the door; you needn’t be at all alarmed; you are perfectly safehere.S.: There is nothing the matter, you know.Mrs. B.: I merely wanted to assure you that you are perfectly safe here. If anybody comeshere, I will send them off.S.: Yes, do, please. It’s nothing; only we got into a little dispute, you know. That is all.Mr. F.: What did you do with your rabbit?S.: Oh, I just left it outside. I didn’t know but what you might notice I had a little bloodon my pantaloons. Oh! I didn’t see anything; no, I didn’t see anything.Mr. F.: What makes you appear to be so nervous?S.: I am a little nervous, yes; but that is all there is of it.Tom: Well, I declare, John! What are you doing here?S.: Don’t mention it. Don’t say anything about me.Tom: I would like to know what you are doing here?S.: I just stopped in for a little while to rest me. I was very tired.Tom: You are welcome to rest here, because these are good friends; they make everyonewelcome, and they never tell who they have got with them, so you needn’t be at all alarmed.S.: The lady seemed to be kind; she said she wouldn’t tell—it’s no matter about that.Tom: What’s the matter with you?S.: There’s nothing to tell.Tom: Why, no; I am sure it is nothing for a man to kill a rabbit.S.: No, that’s nothing. I didn’t know but they might think it a little strange. Oh! Could Igo upstairs a moment?Mrs. B.: Yes, you are welcome to go upstairs if you want to.S.: Don’t mention that there is anybody upstairs. I see them coming! Oh God, I see themcoming!Tom: Now you just keep a little quiet. There is nothing going to harm you. Don’t you knowyou are out of harm’s way now?S.: Yes, I guess it is all right here. It is very quiet and pleasant here.Tom: Of course it is, and we are all shut up here, and there is no light; so you see you aresafe.S.: I haven’t been very well.Tom: You don’t appear well; you appear to be in a very nervous condition. Say, your nameis John, isn’t it?S.: Yes; but no matter about it.Tom: I don’t care to tell anyone about it, only Sarah told me your name is John. Youremember Sarah?S.: Oh, yes, I remember her very well; but how could she tell you?
