Excerpt from The Three-Fold Love: A Comedy in Five Acts Lackl. - A Johnny Reb! The very boys rip out The bowels of my madden'd brain! Ayaunt! Avaunt! ye cursed fiends of hell! avaunt! Tad. - Ha! ha! Go in, Johnny! [Exit crying, ] Chronic-ill! Bob. - Yah! yah! crazy! Hya's the way to strike yer Canterbury! [Strikes a Canterbury and exix crying] Shine 'em up! Lachl. - A rebel's name! Oh, could e'en death itself Tear from my tortur'd soul that seething brand! In that damn'd word the jaws of hell are howling! Exit. Enter Mickie. Michie. - This way for Mr. Heidelberg's. Enter Dr. and Mrs. Squirm. Dr. Squ. - Amelia, dear, [reading from book, ] as I have expressed it in my Epistle on Epidemics, an insurmountable obstacle is reposing in the pathway you would perambulate. My article on trichiniasis and cholera, which, as you know, my dear, I have determined, by analogy and by careful microscopical examination, to be occasioned by infinitesimal animalculæ floating about in the atmospheric element we breathe, must indisputably be presented first to this Honorable Member of Congress. Mickie. - Yis, yer honor, it's a murtherin' villain this cholera. An' it's divil a wake Tim Murphey got for fear of the outragious disease, whin Pat Casey's hod fell fomint his red head an' killed him dead on the shpot that he died the nixt night. Mrs. Squ. - Silence, Mickie! - My appropriation! Æsculapius. I insist upon stating my case first. What shall your wife's philanthropic generosity in distributing Hebrew tracts among our ignorant colored brethering be unpaid for by the government? I must have my appropriation! Dr. Squ. - No, my dear. The trichiniasis and cholera this Member of Congress must have first! - Mickie, ring the bell!
