darkness, neglect--

(_The train stops. A conductor on the platform cries "Aw-ll a-bor!!...
awl aborr!!"_)

TOBY-DOG, (_bewildered_)

Someone's crying out! There's an accident!! Let's run!!!

(_He throws himself against the carriage door and scratches madly at
it_.) SHE, (_half asleep_)

Toby dear, you're a nuisance!

TOBY-DOG, (_distracted_)

Oh, you inexplicable person! How can you sit there quietly? Don't you
hear those cries? They're stopping now--the accident has gone away. Wish
I'd known ...

(_The train starts again_.)

HE, (_throwing down his paper_)

The poor beast is hungry.

SHE, (_now very wide awake_)

You think so? Well, I am too. But Toby is to eat very little.
