You walk back quickly and get another purse. YOU WALK BACK QUICKLY AND GET ANOTHER PURSE
upon these honest folk, but will go forth unto the roadside and there starve. The comic man has awful work with him, but wins at last and persuades the noble fellow to stop on and give the place another trial. When, a morning or so after witnessing one of these beautiful scenes, our own landlady knocks at our door and creates a disturbance over a paltry matter of three or four weeks' rent, and says she'll have her money or out we go that very day, and drifts slowly away down toward the kitchen, abusing us in a rising voice as she descends, then we think of these things and grow sad. It is the example of the people round him that makes the comic man so generous. Everybody is generous on the stage. They are giving away their purses all day long; that is the regulation "tip" on the stage--one's purse. The moment you hear a tale of woe, you grab it out of your pocket, slap it in to the woe-er's palm, grip his hand, dash away a tear, and exit; you don't even leave yourself a 'bus fare home. L STAY NO LONGER TO BE A BURDEN UPON THESE HONEST FOLK BUT WILL GO FORTH ON TO THE ROADSIDE AND THEIR STAFF THE COMING MAN HAS AWFUL WORK WITH HIM BUT WINS AT LAST AND PERSUADES THE NOBLE FELLOW TO STOP AND GIVE THE PLACE ANOTHER TRIAL WHEN A MORNING OR SO AFTER WITNESSING ONE OF THESE BEAUTIFUL SCENES OUR OWN YOUNG LADY KNOCKS AT OUR DOOR AND CREATES A DISTURBANCE OVER A PALTRY MATTER OF THREE OR FOUR WEEKS RENT AND SAYS SHE'LL HAVE HER MONEY OR OUT WE GO THAT VERY DAY AND DRIFTS SLOWLY AWAY DOWN TOWARD THE KITCHEN ABUSING US IN A RISING VOICE AS SHE DESCENDS THEN WE THINK OF THESE THINGS AND GROW SAD IT IS THE EXAMPLE OF PEOPLE AROUND HIM THAT MAKES THE COMIC MAN SO GENEROUS EVERYBODY IS GENEROUS ON THE STAGE THEY ARE GIVING AWAY THEIR PURSES ALL DAY LONG THAT IS THE REGULATION TIP ON THE STAGE ONE'S PURSE THE MOMENT YOU HEAR A TAILOR WOE YOU GRAB IT OUT OF YOUR POCKET SLAP IT ON THE WOE WAS PALM GRIP HIS HAND DASH AWAY A TEAR AND EGGS IT YOU DON'T EVEN LEAVE YOURSELF A BUS FARE HOME
