Lancaster bore him such a little town	A
Such a great man It doesn't see him often	B
Of late years though he keeps the old homestead	C
And sends the children down there with their mother	D
To run wild in the summer a little wild	E
Sometimes he joins them for a day or two	F
And sees old friends he somehow can't get near	G
They meet him in the general store at night	H
Pre occupied with formidable mail	I
Rifling a printed letter as he talks	J
They seem afraid He wouldn't have it so	K
Though a great scholar he's a democrat	L
If not at heart at least on principle	M
Lately when coming up to Lancaster	D
His train being late he missed another train	N
And had four hours to wait at Woodsville Junction	B
After eleven o'clock at night Too tired	O
To think of sitting such an ordeal out	P
He turned to the hotel to find a bed	C
	-
No room the night clerk said Unless	Q
Woodsville's a place of shrieks and wandering lamps	R
And cars that shook and rattle and one hotel	S
	-
You say 'unless '	-
	-
Unless you wouldn't mind	T
Sharing a room with someone else	U
	-
Who is it	V
	-
A man	W
	-
So I should hope What kind of man	W
	-
I know him he's all right A man's a man	W
Separate beds of course you understand	X
The night clerk blinked his eyes and dared him on	Y
	-
Who's that man sleeping in the office chair	Z
Has he had the refusal of my chance	A2
	-
He was afraid of being robbed or murdered	O
What do you say	B2
	-
I'll have to have a bed	C
	-
The night clerk led him up three flights of stairs	C2
And down a narrow passage full of doors	D2
At the last one of which he knocked and entered	O
Lafe here's a fellow wants to share your room	E2
	-
Show him this way I'm not afraid of him	F2
I'm not so drunk I can't take care of myself	G2
	-
The night clerk clapped a bedstead on the foot	H2
This will be yours Good night he said and went	I2
	-
Lafe was the name I think	J2
	-
Yes Layfayette	I2
You got it the first time And yours	K2
	-
Magoon	L2
	-
Doctor Magoon	L2
	-
A Doctor	D
	-
Well a teacher	D
	-
Professor Square the circle till you're tired	I2
Hold on there's something I don't think of now	M2
That I had on my mind to ask the first	I2
Man that knew anything I happened in with	N2
I'll ask you later don't let me forget it	I2
	-
The Doctor looked at Lafe and looked away	B2
A man A brute Naked above the waist	I2
He sat there creased and shining in the light	I2
Fumbling the buttons in a well starched shirt	I2
I'm moving into a size larger shirt	I2
I've felt mean lately mean's no name for it	I2
I just found what the matter was to night	I2
I've been a choking like a nursery tree	O2
When it outgrows the wire band of its name tag	P2
I blamed it on the hot spell we've been having	Q2
'Twas nothing but my foolish hanging back	R2
Not liking to own up I'd grown a size	S2
Number eighteen this is What size do you wear	Z
	-
The Doctor caught his throat convulsively	S
Oh ah fourteen fourteen	T2
	-
Fourteen You say so	K
I can remember when I wore fourteen	T2
And come to think I must have back at home	U2
More than a hundred collars size fourteen	T2
Too bad to waste them all You ought to have them	V2
They're yours and welcome let me send them to you	F
What makes you stand there on one leg like that	I2
You're not much furtherer than where Kike left you	F
You act as if you wished you hadn't come	W2
Sit down or lie down friend you make me nervous	X2
	-
The Doctor made a subdued dash for it	I2
And propped himself at bay against a pillow	K
	-
Not that way with your shoes on Kike's white bed	I2
You can't rest that way Let me pull your shoes off	Y2
	-
Don't touch me please I say don't touch me please	Z2
I'll not be put to bed by you my man	W
	-
Just as you say Have it your own way then	A3
'My man' is it You talk like a professor	D
Speaking of who's afraid of who however	D
I'm thinking I have more to lose than you	F
If anything should happen to be wrong	B3
Who wants to cut your number fourteen throat	I2
Let's have a show down as an evidence	C3
Of good faith There is ninety dollars	D3
Come if you're not afraid	I2
	-
I'm not afraid	I2
There's five that's all I carry	O2
	-
I can search you	F
Where are you moving over to Stay still	S
You'd better tuck your money under you	F
And sleep on it the way I always do	F
When I'm with people I don't trust at night	I2
	-
Will you believe me if I put it there	Z
Right on the counterpane that I do trust you	F
	-
You'd say so Mister Man I'm a collector	D
My ninety isn't mine you won't think that	I2
I pick it up a dollar at a time	E3
All round the country for the Weekly News	F3
Published in Bow You know the Weekly News	F3
	-
Known it since I was young	G3
	-
Then you know me	O2
Now we are getting on together talking	Q2
I'm sort of Something for it at the front	I2
My business is to find what people want	I2
They pay for it and so they ought to have it	I2
Fairbanks he says to me he's editor	D
Feel out the public sentiment he says	H3
A good deal comes on me when all is said	I2
The only trouble is we disagree	O2
In politics I'm Vermont Democrat	I2
You know what that is sort of double dyed	I2
The News has always been Republican	B
Fairbanks he says to me 'Help us this year '	-
Meaning by us their ticket 'No ' I says	H3
'I can't and won't You've been in long enough	I3
It's time you turned around and boosted us	X2
You'll have to pay me more than ten a week	J3
If I'm expected to elect Bill Taft	I2
I doubt if I could do it anyway '	-
	-
You seem to shape the paper's policy	O2
	-
You see I'm in with everybody know 'em all	S
I almost know their farms as well as they do	F
	-
You drive around It must be pleasant work	K3
	-
It's business but I can't say it's not fun	B
What I like best's the lay of different farms	L3
Coming out on them from a stretch of woods	M3
Or over a hill or round a sudden corner	D
I like to find folks getting out in spring	Q2
Raking the dooryard working near the house	N3
Later they get out further in the fields	O3
Everything's shut sometimes except the barn	P3
The family's all away in some back meadow	K
There's a hay load a coming when it comes	Q3
And later still they all get driven in	R3
The fields are stripped to lawn the garden patches	S3
Stripped to bare ground the apple trees	Z2
To whips and poles There's nobody about	I2
The chimney though keeps up a good brisk smoking	Q2
And I lie back and ride I take the reins	T3
Only when someone's coming and the mare	Z
Stops when she likes I tell her when to go	K
I've spoiled Jemima in more ways than one	B
She's got so she turns in at every house	N3
As if she had some sort of curvature	D
No matter if I have no errand there	Z
She thinks I'm sociable I maybe am	U3
It's seldom I get down except for meals though	K
Folks entertain me from the kitchen doorstep	V3
All in a family row down to the youngest	I2
	-
One would suppose they might not be as glad	I2
To see you as you are to see them	V2
	-
Oh	K
Because I want their dollar I don't want	I2
Anything they've not got I never dun	B
I'm there and they can pay me if they like	W3
I go nowhere on purpose I happen by	X3
Sorry there is no cup to give you a drink	J2
I drink out of the bottle not your style	S
Mayn't I offer you	F
	-
No no no thank you	F
	-
Just as you say Here's looking at you then	A3
And now I'm leaving you a little while	S
You'll rest easier when I'm gone perhaps	Y3
Lie down let yourself go and get some sleep	Z3
But first let's see what was I going to ask you	F
Those collars who shall I address them to	F
Suppose you aren't awake when I come back	R2
	-
Really friend I can't let you You may need them	V2
	-
Not till I shrink when they'll be out of style	S
	-
But really I I have so many collars	D3
	-
I don't know who I rather would have have them	V2
They're only turning yellow where they are	A4
But you're the doctor as the saying is	B4
I'll put the light out Don't you wait for me	O2
I've just begun the night You get some sleep	Z3
I'll knock so fashion and peep round the door	C4
When I come back so you'll know who it is	B4
There's nothing I'm afraid of like scared people	S
I don't want you should shoot me in the head	I2
What am I doing carrying off this bottle	S
There now you get some sleep	Z3
	-
He shut the door	C4
The Doctor slid a little down the pillow	K
