ACT III.
_Scene.--Lawn in front of Continental Hotel at Long Branch. Enter_
JENKINS, _disguised in a second-hand silk hat, and a claw-hammer coat,
with a hand-organ on his back. He stops before one of the windows,
grinds the hand-organ, and sings:_

Home with a can--
(_Numerous heads put out of numerous windows_.)
[As all the following are said at the same moment, the reader is here
requested to take a long breath.]
_1st Window._ Stop that howling!
_2d_ " Dry up, you idiot!
_3d_ " Cork that organ!
_4th_ " Bust that music-box!
(And so on, _ad infinitum_, until all the supes are used up; the supes
can probably supply their own language of the above kind.)
(_Windows shut. Enter_ JULIETTE, _from window_.
