The comic man is shocked at his wife for even thinking of such a thing, and the end of it is that Mr. and Mrs. Hero live there for the rest of the play rent free; coals, soap, candles, and hair oil for the child being provided for them on the same terms. THE COMIC MAN IS SHOCKED AT HIS WIFE FOR EVEN THINKING SUCH A THING AND AT THE END OF IT MISTER AND MISSUS HERO LIVED THERE FOR THE REST OF THE PLAY RENT FREE COALS SOAP CANDLES AND HAIR OIL FOR THE CHILD BEING PROVIDED FOR THEM ON THE SAME TERMS
as they came to buy, pushes their money back into their hands, and wipes away a tear. Why doesn't a comic man come and set up a grocery store in our neighborhood? When the shop does not prove sufficiently profitable (as under the above-explained method sometimes happens to be the case) the comic man's wife seeks to add to the income by taking in lodgers. This is a bad move on her part, for it always ends in the lodgers taking her in. The hero and heroine, who seem to have been waiting for something of the sort, immediately come and take possession of the whole house. Of course the comic man could not think of charging for mere board and lodging the man who knocked him down when they were boys together! Besides, was not the heroine (now the hero's wife) the sweetest and the blithest girl in all the village of Deepdale? (They must have been a gloomy band, the others!) How can any one with a human heart beneath his bosom suggest that people like that should pay for their rest and washing?  FULL TWICE AS MUCH AS THEY CAME TO BUY PUSHES THEIR MONEY BACK INTO THEIR HANDS AND WIPES AWAY A TEAR WHY DOESN'T THE COMIC MAN COME OUT AND SET UP A GROCERY STORE IN OUR NEIGHBOURHOOD WHEN THE SHOP DOES PROVE SUFFICIENTLY PROFITABLE AS UNDER THE ABOVE EXPLAINED METHOD SOMETIMES HAPPENS TO BE A CASE THE COMIC MAN'S WIFE SEEKS TO ADD TO THE INCOME BY TAKING IN LODGERS THIS IS A BAD MOVE ON HER PART FOR IT ALWAYS ENDS IN THE LODGERS TAKING HER IN THE HERO AND HEROINE WHO SEEMED TO HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMETHING OF THIS SORT IMMEDIATELY COME AND TAKE POSSESSION OF THE WHOLE HOUSE OF COURSE THE COMING MAN COULD NOT THINK OF CHARGING THEM FOR MERE BOARD AND LODGING THE MAN WHO KNOCKED HIM DOWN WHEN THEY WERE BOYS TOGETHER BESIDES WAS NOT THE HEROINE NOW THE HERO'S WIFE THE SWEETEST AND BLITHEST GIRL IN THE VILLAGE OF DEEPDALE THEY MUST HAVE BEEN A GLOOMY BAND THE OTHERS HOW CAN ANY ONE WITH A HUMAN HEART BENEATH HIS BOSOM SUGGEST THAT PEOPLE LIKE THAT SHOULD PAY FOR THEIR RENT AND WASHING
