In the last cheer one major so far forgets himself his name is Hardy as to let go with a cat-call, after which he immediately retires into his monocle, and pretends he hasn't. The General, who is a kindly old brigadier with twinkling eyes, says: "I can't make a speech, but I'll sing you a song."
"Frontier Samson!" he exclaimed, gripping him firmly by the hand. "Is it really you?" "Sure, it's me, all right, Curly. Who else did ye think it was; me ghost?" "Not when I heard that cat-call, an' the bow-wow." "Heard 'em before, eh? Guess this isn't the first scrape I've got ye out of, is it?" "Should say not. But where in h did ye drop from, Sam? I didn't know ye were on board."
Alice considered them very badly trained. Kathleen, however, was much taken by their schoolboyish ways. As the two girls now entered the house they heard a whistle proceeding from the attic; a cat-call at the same time came from the basement. "Oh, dear!" cried Alice, "there are those dreadful boys again. Whatever you do, Kathleen, you must not encourage them in their larks."

Five years! the author tells us especially to humor the belief by letting the drop-scene linger longer than usual between the lamps and the stage. Play up, O ye fiddles and kettle-drums! the time is elapsed. Stop that cat-call, young gentleman; heads down in the pit there! Now the flourish is over, the scene draws up: look before.
