Between You and Me

CHAPTER XI
14/15

I mind one time I was hurrying from the Tivoli to a hall in the suburbs, and on the Thames Embankment something went wrang.
I was worried for fear I'd be late, and I jumped oot to see what was wrang.

I clean forgot I was in the costume for my first song at the new hall--it had been my last, tae, at the Tiv.

I was wearin' kilt, glengarry, and all the costume for the swab germ' corporal o' Hielanders in "She's Ma Daisy." D'ye mind the song?
Then ye'll ken hoo I lookit, oot there on the Embankment, wi' the lichts shinin' doon on me and a', and me dancin' aroond in a fever o' impatience to be off! At once a crowd was aroond me--where those London crowds spring frae I've ne'er been able to guess.

Ye'll be bowlin' alang a dark, empty street.

Ye stop--and in a second they're all aboot ye.
