I'll be on hand in a way bit of a jiffy! Mrs. J. Hurry up, then, you pack of laziness! Enter, Patsy, L, whistling an Irish air, a large wooden bucket on his arm. Mrs. J. (catching sight of the bucket) What did you bring that bucket in here for? Patsy. Faix! to bring wather to ixtinguish the conflagration. Mrs. J. The what? Patsy. Bejabers! ye was makin' sich a hulla-buloo among the furniture I thought the house was on fire an' ye was thryin' to save the place, so I jest brought me bucket along to help yez fight the ilement. Mrs. J. You blundering fellow! Don't you see that hack at the door? Go, instantly! Patsy. In the hack, mum? Mrs. J. No, blunder-pate! Go out and assist the passengers with their baggage. Go!
