King Cole:

The mend will hold until you reach a wright.

Where do you play?

The Showman:

In Wallingford to-night.

King Cole:

There are great doings there.

The Showman:

I know of none.

King Cole:

The Prince will lay the Hall's foundation stone

This afternoon: he and the Queen are there.

The Showman:

Lord, keep this showman patient, lest he swear.

King Cole:

Why should you swear? Be glad; your town is filled.

The Showman:

What use are crowds to me with business killed?

King Cole:

I see no cause for business to be crosst.
