 SCENE L— Street ^cene. 
 
 Enter, Greenberry, l. e. 
 
 Greenherry. Hello ! dat niggali ain't lieali yet, I pre- 
 sume likely he'll appeah shortly. I'm half 'feared to gc 
 'round an' serenade de Blackrich girls to-night. Dat ol' 
 Blackrich keeps a pow'ful heap ob money in his house an' 
 half dozen big bull dogs 'round to keep watch ob it an' his 
 two lubly daughters. Oh my ! what a lian'some gal Sussy 
 is. I always feel de strangest sensation here when I think 
 ab her. (p'acmg his hand to his right side 
 
 Enter, Butler, r. e. 
 
 Butler. What's de mattah, Greenberry ? Did some- 
 body hit yoh in de rib wif a brick ? 
 
 Green. Go long, fellah ! I's experiencing de sensations 
 ob lub. (Butler drops flat on the stage) What fob yoh 
 lyin' dere in de mud? 
 
 Butler, {rising slo wig) Sensations ob lub? Yah ! yah ! 
 yah! I's gwine to tell dat to obrybody I meet. 
 
 Green. Oh ! yoh's low down darkey. Yoh's trash. De 
 finer sentimental qualifies am not efficiently eveloped — • 
 
 Butler. Look yeah, niggah! If yoh go on ravin' like 
 iat yoh'll git in de asylums. De idea ob a big black darkey 
 u;wine on like yoh was a while geniman in lub wif a million- 
 aire's daughter. Go 'way, niggah ! git in yoh box! git in 
 yoh box ! 
 
 Grer.t. Let's drop dis yere question. It's beyond yoh 
 incomprehension anyway. Is yoh ready to go 'round and 
 gerenade Lize Blackrich to-night ? 
 
 Butler. Dat's what I'm ready for. Do yoh think de ol' 
 man '11 ask us in an' treat us ? 
 
4 A COINCIDENCE. 
 
 Green. Humph! yoh don't know dat ol' man. He 
 wouldn't treat low down darks. 
 
 Butler. Dey say he has six bull dogs. 
 
 Green. Dat's what he has an' he feeds dem on niggahs. 
 {dog harl's behind scene, Butler leaps uj)on Geeenberry's 
 hack and attempt's to mount his shoulders, therehij crushing 
 his tile) Wah — what yoh mean ? {shaking him off 
 
 Butler. Kmi — ain't dat one ob his dogs ? 
 
 Green. Presume likely it is, bnt he's chained. Look 
 dere yoh's ruined dat hat. I won't be able to pawn it any- 
 more. 
 
 Butler. I wanted to get 'way from de dog. 
 
 Green. What time am we goin' 'roun' dar ? 
 
 Butler. I don't know. What time am it now ? Look 
 at yoh turnip. 
 
 Green. My turnip's at de watch maker' — a potato bu<2 
 got in de works. 
 
 Butler. Sorry to heah it. I's gettin' a diaraon' an' fob 
 new crystals put in my watch. 
 Green. Watch yoh givin' us ? 
 
 Butler learis against iving for support and fans himse^J 
 
 ivith hat. 
 
 Butler. Golly ! dat's enough to 'lectrocute a man. If 
 yoh do dat again, I'll draw my raizor. 
 
 Green. If yoh draw dat on me yoh'll draw yoh las' bret. 
 
 Butler. Dat's big talk ! dat's big talk ! 
 
 Green. Yes, an' it's from a big man, too. 
 
 {struts around 
 
 Butler. Well, if we go 'roun' dere to serenade dem gals, 
 how mus' we perceed ? It's danjus to monkey wif de dogs. 
 
 Green. I hab a plan, I will unfold it. 
 
 Butler. Is it on paper ? 
 
 Green. Ob co's it ain't. 
 
 Butler. Well, how's yoh gwine to unfold it? 
 
 Green. Oh ! dat's merely a figger ob speech. 
 
 Butler, [aside) Edicated niggah ! 
 
 Green. Lis am my plan. Ob co's de dogs will be 
 shained. I tol' Sussy an' Lize to see dat dey was. But we 
 mus' approach de place wif caution. 
 
 Butler. Don I won't go! den I won't go! Dat settles it. 
 Don't want no otUa nio;.2j[ui 'ion.o;, jus' us two, 
 
A COINCIDENCE. 
 
 Green. Who said sumpin' 'bout notha niggah ? 
 
 Butler. Yoh said we mas' go wif Caution an' I don't 
 want him long. 
 
 Green. Well, if yoh ain't de mos' numb skullest darkey 
 I evah seed. Yoh's not delegated to apprehend de com- 
 mon appelations used by men ob edification. When I say 
 caution, I mean care — 'proach de place wif care. 
 
 Butler. Yoh talk so onsensible dat a cultched nigjah 
 can't understan' de ha'f yoh say. 
 
 Green. Dis am my plan. We mus' 'proach de house 
 carefully an' it is best foh us to separate now, an' proceed 
 by diff'ent roads. Yoh go to de place by way ob Peach 
 Blossom lane an' I'll come down Oeatfish avenue. As soon 
 as we get in front ob de house, we'll bof gib a low whistle 
 as a signal to start de music. 
 
 Butler. S'pose Blackrich heahs dat music, won't he sot 
 (le dogs on us ? 
 
 Green. He won't heah de music. He sleeps way in de 
 back ob de house wif a ton ob feathahs ovah his head. 
 
 Butler. Well, I mus' go to suppah now. ilight aftali 
 suppah I'll get my mangelin an' come down Peach Blossom 
 lane. 
 
 Green. All righ t, I'll be dar wif mine, too.
