There, May, we'll hang this relic of my warrior days above the mantel, to remind us, that now I have become a husband, the sword is beaten into a ploughshare. MAY. Very appropriate, now you have become a husbandman. ROY. Good, very good Wedlock has sharpened your wits. Yes, I am the happy husband of the best little wife ever erring man was blessed with. Oh, blissful state of matrimony why did I not become your naturalized citizen before? (Steps from chair). There, old friend, rest in peace no more shall we in fellowship dash upon the enemy; no more, hand in hand, encounter the perils of the battlefield, the glory of triumph, the shame of defeat. Oh, rest in peace, old dog of war, until you grow rusty with honorable age MAY. How very pathetic You have pronounced the eulogy. Bess, a dirge would be appropriate just now. BESS. Yes. How would "Old Dog Tray" suit the occasion? ROY. Very bad. A biting sarcasm (Looks at sabre). Rather ornamental. Hey, May? (Sits in chair, R. of table.) MAY. It has a wicked look. It makes me shudder.
