mad breakfast Mrs. browns lines

You better ring it. They’re always late anyway, and the biscuits is about done.

Well, what is so amusing?

It’s too good to keep. I’ll have to share it!

What?

This!

Has someone left you a fortune?

Read it!

Mr. Jones: dear Sir: shall arrive with the institution as soon after six-thirty as possible. Thank you for providing me with this opportunity for observation and study, I am yours most Sincerely, Robert T Long.

What does it mean?

It is the richest joke since the flood! It means that we are going to have the time of our young lives

A middle aged, well, to do, gentlemen of excellent social position, would like to visit a small, select private home for the insane, for the purpose of investigation and study. Any information will be gratefully, appreciated, and well paid for. Address, communications to Robert T Long, Box 2, morning star.

Isn’t it rich?

You don’t mean to say?

I do. I answered his ad and he answered my answer. Confound that Lizzie she’ll wake the whole city.

But where did you send him? His letter says shall arrive at the institution as soon after 630 as possible.

He’s coming here young lady. He’s coming here.

What for?

I would advise the rest cure

I suppose I am dumb, but I don’t understand. He wants to see a lunatic asylum, and you invite him here.

Exactly

But we aren’t lunatics

Pretty bad bunch if you ask me

Oh, several of us are a little queer. I know, but you’ll never get him to believe that. We’re actually insane you know.

Not you, dear young lady. I’ve decided that you should be my assistant. Head nurse of the asylum.

And you?

No, I’m just in the last chapter. It’s awful sad.

What is the title of the novel?

United and death. It’s awful sad.

I’ll lend you a good story. It’s called all for love it ends happily.

Do you get the idea?

You made to see if poor Lizzy, but the rest won’t believe that nonsense

I shall tell her excellent landlady that our inquisitive friend Long is a secret service government inspector of boarding houses, bent, are investigating her table

Good heavens! Shell poision him

I suppose old Tony, the peanut man, will buy it to hang it in his front parlor

Oh really Mrs. Simpkins, we all wish Miss Green success I’m sure

Do you know Mr. Jones friend Mrs. Brown

Oh yes, I know him slightly

They say he is wonderfully like napoleon

Very

Something is in the air

Fo you know who is coming? Robert T. Long, the greatest medium that ever lived

Never heard of him

No? Why, he is the reincarnation of Napoleon!

Sh-Everybody- Mr. Long is coming!

Don’t appear to notice him! He doesn’t like to be noticed!

Lizzie don’t betray him!

Here’s the breakfast as good as I can make it with prices what they is. Take it or leave it but I’ll have justice

Im sure Mr. Long will be charmed to have breakfast with us

You must make a portrait of him

Oh you must! Can’t you get a canvas?

Not by no means Mrs. Green! Mr. Long is my guest and I’ll thank you to let him finish hi breakfast

Oh don’t disappoint Mrs. Simpkins, Mr. Long! I won’t answer for the consequences if you do!

Indeed

You are a very successful trance medium yourself, aren’t you Mr. Long

I-oh yes indeed

Oh Miss Smith, do recite “Asleep at the switch”

Oh there wasn’t the slightest danger- as long as we had our eye on them

Wouldn’t it be best for Mr. Long to go now? Some of them may return at any moment!

Couldn’t take it really

It would be false pretenses you know

Not any more insane than you are- oh I see

He is perfectly right Mr. Long. Please take your money. We might be arrested

You make him take it. We can’t keep it

Take it please! I insist!

Here comes someone! Get him out

Come come! He may become dangerous! Do go!
