"Pretty soon Orphy comes back 'n' jerks the trolley off 'n' we stop on a big square with a monument in the middle. "'We got to wait here at the Public Square fer Mrs. Boone, he says. "In about twenty minutes here comes a dame across the Square.
She keeps right on goin'. Then he runs back 'n' yanks the trolley off, 'n' she begins to slow down. 'Git your trunk an' fetch it to where I stop at! he hollers. 'The cut-off ain't workin' just like it ought-a this mornin'. "We lugs the trunk down to the car 'n' puts her on the back platform. "'That's the way things goes! says Orphy. 'I hadn't figgered on no trunk.
"'I got to go 'n' tell Butsy there's a judge comin'! says Peewee. "'Butsy's sore about somethin', he says when he gets back.

"We ain't more'n got started when the dame lets out a holler. "'Orphy! she yells, 'Stop! Wait a minute! Whoa! Orphy comes 'n' yanks off the trolley. "'I declare to goodness! says Mrs. Boone. 'I've furgot my rubbers.
Yes, but he didn't eat all he took, for I saw him slip a great chunk of bread and cheese into his pocket, and then a big piece of pie, while he was talking and making us laugh. Orphy. Well, I think a man must be very badly off to do such a thing. I wonder he did not ask for victuals to take away with him. He need not have been afraid. He must know that victuals is no object.

"'Set right down, boys, he says, ''n' make yourselves mis'able. Then he puts a chew in his face that would choke a he-elephant 'n' begins to ask us questions.
Run up and get them for me, Orphy they're behind the door in the front hall. "'I'd like to oblige you real well, Mrs. Boone, says Orphy, 'but the company don't allow me to leave the car when I'm on duty "'Well, I call lookin' after your customers bein' on duty, says Mrs. Boone.
