(_Enter_ GROSVENOR _as a commonplace conductor on the Chicago & Alton Railroad, accompanied by_ ANGELA, SAPHIR, _and others_.)
Conceive me if you can, An every-day young man, A commonplace type, With a stick and a pipe, An every-day young man.
PATIENCE--What is this I see, Grosvenor--Archibald with his hair cut! Oh, Archibald, is it you? Can it be that you are indeed a common person once more?
GROSVENOR--It is. I am still connected with the Chicago & Alton Railroad, it is true, but I am once more a commonplace young man.
PATIENCE--Then to love you would not be selfish, Archibald, I have promised to marry the Grand Commander if I live or die; but that makes no difference, I love you and am yours forever.
G· C·--This is too much. Then I am jilted?
PATIENCE--Do not let that worry you, Grand Commander. You will find another who will be ready to appreciate the many advantages to be derived from a marriage with a man of your attainments.
(ANGELA, SAPHIR, _and other fair maidens together_.)
(_Enter conductors--each one takes a fair one under his wing._)
GROSVENOR--May you all be happy, and may you all live to learn that to be perfectly utter in your walk of life, the goal has been reached when you become a conductor on the Chicago & Alton Railroad.
