The last stage of
collapse!
Kipling - Poems
G.
How long does this hymn go on for?
Capt. M. It will be over directly. (Anxiously. ) (Beginning to bleach and
gulp. ) Hold on, Gabby, and think 'o the Regiment.
Capt. G. (Measuredly. ) I say, there's a big brown lizard crawling up
that wall.
Capt. M. My Sainted Mother!
The last stage of collapse!
Bride comes up to left of altar, lifts her eyes once to G. , who is
suddenly smitten mad.
Capt. G. (To himself again and again. ) Little Featherweight's a woman--a
woman! And I thought she was a little girl.
Capt. M. (In a whisper. ) Form the halt--inward wheel.
Capt. G. obeys mechanically and the ceremony proceeds.
PADRE.
