This is the end of me!
SAUSAGE (_weeping_). Dear me! Dear me! Who would have thought 't would turn
out so badly! Well, 't is my duty to bring in wood.
[_She opens the door and is face to face with a hungry dog who is sniffing
about._]
DOG. Ah, I thought you'd be coming out soon!
SAUSAGE (_pleased_). Do you want to see me, sir?
DOG. Why, yes, I've been waiting for you.
SAUSAGE. How good to be out in the world! They always said my place was
within.
DOG. They did, eh? Well, just to please them, I'll put you there.
[_He swallows her quickly, which ends both Sister Sausage and our story._]

THE GOODMAN.
HIS WIFE.

[_The_ GOODMAN _and his_ WIFE _are seated in their spare room because it is
Fair-day._]
WIFE. Yes, I think it would be as well to sell our horse. Or, as you say,
we might exchange him for something more useful.
GOODMAN. What shall we exchange him for?
WIFE. You know best, Goodman. Whatever you do will be right.
GOODMAN (_starting out_). It is Fair-day.
