Be attentive to the old, don't growl and never scold, but to all be just and fair, And convince 'em if you can that the conductors of your road are fraught with culture rare. Take your tickets with a smile, whatever may be there to guile, and teach them all to pine For the exquisite politeness of the affable conductors of the Chicago and Alton Line. And everyone will say As you walk your mystic way, If everything connected with the Alton Road is as good as what I see, Oh, what a very cultivated sort of road this Alton Road must be!
Be kind in disposition, bear in mind that your position is one in which you shine, As a man of great perfection on account of your connection with the Chicago and Alton Line Though the emigrants may jostle, you will rank as an apostle in a high æsthetic band You always must remember that you are a valued member of the railroad of the land. And everyone will say, As you walk your stately way If he's a sample of the Alton Road, the Alton Road, oh, me! Why, what a very cultivated sort of road the Alton road must be!
ANGELA--This love for yon young Grosvenor is joy. (_All sigh._)
(GROSVENOR _starts and endeavors to escape but is prevented_.)
GROSVENOR--Really, ladies, you must excuse me, I have to meet a fellow.
ALL--We know, but deign us a few moments of your precious time. Let us gaze upon your beauteous exterior, if only for a brief while.
GROSVENOR--But, ladies, to what end? I never can be yours. Of course it is my duty to let you gaze on me as you would gaze on any other beautiful product of nature, else why am I in this world? But you cannot turn me from my love. Remember the story of the old man and the railroad runners.
