“ Now cease!” cried Joseph Puffedup,
fir splinters standing erect, “ tell me
what you do of my wooden head ex­
pect? I own I made a blunder; pray
tell me who has not? But from off this
plane I’ll drive him, with gas and air
red-hot; pray am I not the champeen
spreader of the *con’? Do I not tote a
medal for bragging what I’ve done? I
am a mighty Booster, (but this secret
to you I’ll tell), I never boost a dam
thing unless it pays me well! Let’s
stop this profitless wrangling, Em, and
get our heads together; two heads beat
one, they say, though mine is wood and
yours is leather.” (Exit, singing “The
Tie that Binds.”
