All the grandest actors have the dying parts; and they die gloriously; and the audience claps and claps and claps; and the curtain goes up, and they all come out alive again and bow and smile; and you eat some candy and don’t cry any more.” “Here Mosey,” said Betty, “is a tin crown. You can fasten it on with this wire. See?” “Just in time, I reckon,” the Sheriff said[219] facetiously; “pull up that chest and come along to our party.”.
