Synopsis: Mr. Mercer usually goes downtown on the subway in New York. This time, however, he determines on an adventure, and takes a train (the "20th Century," no less!) for the return trip. Morton, a friendly porter, installs him comfortably in the smoking-room. Mr. Barclay, the conductor, a monument of dignified and expansive friendliness, chats with him, oh, so disarmingly! Mr. Mercer is delighted at the quick blossoming of such a friendship. They exchange the pleasant conversation inanities of such causal contacts, which seem of tremendous importance; and Mr. Mercer's gentle heart expands. As he leaves the train, he resolves daringly to "do the whole darn trip over again this summer." Mr. Barclay expands too and bestows on Mercer the most cordial of good wishes. "I trust you find your dear ones hale and hearty. Write me soon." The curtain line, however delivered by Mr. Barclay, is a perfect parting shot, giving point to the entire sketch. | ||||
