 Pete. Yes, massa, spec dar was a mighty powahful ad- 
 miration down heah. De truf is dat — dat — dat — 
 
 Maj. Speak you villain! It's ridiculous that I can't 
 take a bath without having to come down here and keep you 
 coons from tearing the house down. The way you servants 
 act in this house, is out of all reason, and I propose to put a 
 stop to it. Now what, have you been doing? I want no 
 nonsense, you black rascal. 
 
 Pete, {aside) Gosh ! t'ings look bilious, [aloud) Why 
 massa, de truf is, dat Irishman made a 'sault an' batter' on 
 me, and knocked de dickens — 
 
 Maj. Irishman! What Irishman ?

 Susie. 
 
 Maj. {aside) Thunder and mars ! Am I to be run over 
 in my own house ? Here my servants are sneaking guests 
 in here, without my knowledge or consent. If it keeps on at 
 this rate, they'll try .to run me out next, {aloud) Well 
 Pete, how did you happen to get into a rumpus with the 
 Irishman ? 
 
 Pete. Well massa, os I said befo', he sneaked in heah and 
 he seed me 'tendin' to my own business, wid no 'scuse what- 
 somever, he made at me like a hawk on a spring chicken, 
 an' — 
 
 Maj. {sees bottle on floor, points to it) Ah! ha! that 
 accounts for all this fuss, sir! You black ape, haven't I told 
 you time and again, about stealing my wine? 
 
 {advancing toward Pete 
 
 Pete, {on h's knees) Oh! massa, please don't, I 'clar'

 Maj. Well sir ! I'll let you off this time, but if I ever 
 hear of you meddling with my affairs again, I'll cane you. 
 Do you hear? 
 
 Pete. Yes, massa, yes sah! {aside) By hokey, he 
 might break his cane. 
 
 Maj. Well, see that you take heed. Now go on about 
 your work. 
 
 Pete. All right, massa. But massa, can I get off to- 
 night to set up wid uncle Rastus, who was tooken wid

 I'se fooled de ole Major, I'se goin' to de dance at aunt 'Eiah's. 
 'Spec' I'd bet tali amberiate, or I'll be late, {starts to go out 
 l. , Dennis glides in front of him) Oh, Lawd! w'at dat? 
 It's a ghos' sho' nuff. I'se a goner fo' a fact.

 Susanner Derrick, if I'd bus' dis mortal coil. I'll be de

 Fire! Thieves! De dickens! Help! Help! (general 
 business — Dennis looks l., and slowly goes toward r. e.) 
 I golly, dat's a tarnation funny gost. He's a Irishman un- 
 derneaf. I see's who dat gos' is now, 'case I kotch a 
 glimpse of him when de wind blowed dat sheet to one side 
 dat he's got 'round 'Jm. By de hocus pocus, it's dat are 
 mizable Flannigan. I'll see whether he's gob hoblin or not. 
 (pulls out Lottie and slips up behind Dennis, slips bottle 
 over Dennis' shoulder, under his nose, who makes a loud 
 snort, and as Pete retreats with bottle, folloios with nose 
 against it) Ah, ha ! Gos' ain't yer. I learn yer how to 
 fool wid 'spectable folks ; take dat, an' dat, an' dat. 
 
 (Pete hits Dennis on nose — general confusion — they fight 
 both lay on floor, 
 
 Dennis. Och ! begorra, ye skermudgeon, ye are too slick 
 for me; faith an' I'll acknowledge the corn, (looks l.) Be- 
 jabbers, yer squealin'has brought that dirty blaggard of a 
 cop down on us. Begob Pate, we'll fix 'im.

 hopes you kin take some consolation from dese adventures,
