All his customers seem to be people more or less in trouble, and he can't find it in his heart to ask them to pay for their goods under such distressing circumstances. ALL HIS CUSTOMERS SEEM TO BE PEOPLE MORE OR LESS IN TROUBLE AND HE CAN'T FIND IT IN HIS HEART TO ASK THEM TO PAY FOR THEIR GOODS UNDER SUCH DISTRESSING CIRCUMSTANCES
ly weak. It really ought to be seen to. People talk and chatter at the very top of their voices close behind them, and they never hear a word--don't know anybody's there, even. After it has been going on for half an hour, and the people "up stage" have made themselves hoarse with shouting, and somebody has been boisterously murdered and all the furniture upset, then the people "down stage" "think they hear a noise." The comic man always rows with his wife if he is married or with his sweetheart if he is not married. They quarrel all day long. It must be a trying life, you would think, but they appear to like it. How the comic man lives and supports his wife (she looks as if it wanted something to support her, too) and family is always a mystery to us. As we have said, he is not a rich man and he never seems to earn any money. Sometimes he keeps a shop, and in the way he manages business it must be an expensive thing to keep, for he never charges anybody for anything, he is so generous. EN AGAIN THEIR HEARING IS SO TERRIBLY WEAK IT REALLY OUGHT TO BE SEEN TO PEOPLE TALK AND CHATTER AT THE VERY TOP OF THEIR VOICES CLOSE BEHIND THEM AND THEY NEVER HEAR A WORD DON'T KNOW ANYBODY'S THERE EVEN AFTER IT HAD BEEN GOING ON FOR HALF AN HOUR AND THE PEOPLE UP STAGE HAVE MADE THEMSELVES HOARSE WITH SHOUTING AND SOMEBODY HAS BEEN BOISTEROUSLY MURDERED AND ALL THE FURNITURE UPSET THEN THE PEOPLE DOWNSTAKE THINK THEY HEAR A NOISE THE COMIC MAN ALWAYS AROUSES WITH HIS WIFE IF HE IS MARRIED OR WITH HIS SWEETHEART IF HE IS NOT MARRIED THEY QUARREL ALL DAY LONG IT MUST BE A TRYING LIFE YOU WOULD THINK BUT THEY APPEAR TO LIKE IT HOW THE COMING MAN LIVES AND SUPPORTS HIS WIFE SHE LOOKS AS IF IT WANTED SOMETHING TO SUPPORT HER TOO AND FAMILY IS A MYSTERY TO US AS WE HAVE SAID HE IS NOT A RICH MAN AND HE NEVER SEEMS TO EARN ANY MONEY SOMETIMES HE KEEPS A SHOP AND IN THE WAY HE MANAGES BUSINESS IT MUST BE AN EXPENSIVE THING TO KEEP FOR HE NEVER CHARGES ANYBODY FOR ANYTHING HE IS SO GENEROUS
