Whom grasping Time so long has spared Life's sweet illusions to pursue, The common lot of age have shared? In every pulse of Friendship's heart There breeds unfelt a throb of pain, One hour must rend its links apart, Though years on years have forged the chain. So ends "The Boys," a lifelong play. We too must hear the Prompter's call To fairer scenes and brighter day Farewell!
'Don't you think you had better be wheeled to your room? You know I dine out to-day. 'I prefer to sit here. Tell Williams to come to me. The shadows fall thicker and faster. Still Hiram Meeker sits by the window. Despite my real inclination, I have a morbid desire to linger by his side. I hear the sharp ring of the prompter's bell! The curtain is about to fall.

A box beside the prompter's box was reserved for the chief gas-man, who from there gave his orders to his assistants and saw that they were executed. Mauclair stayed in this box during all the performances. But now Mauclair was not in his box and his assistants not in their places. "Mauclair! Mauclair!" The stage-manager's voice echoed through the cellars. But Mauclair did not reply.
Opposite and at some distance across the roofs of lower buildings, the girls saw a tall edifice, the long upper story of which seemed to be a dancing hall. The windows of that were also open, and through them they heard the scream of the jiggered and tortured violin, and the pump, pump of the oboe, and saw the moving shapes of men and women in quick transition, and heard the prompter's drawl.
