 Board:
 * How very sad, how very sad!

1st Teacher:
 * He's good, but hear my one excuse

Board:
 * Oh, what's the use, oh, what's the use?

1st Teacher:
 * Last winter in a railroad wreck
 * He lost an arm and broke his neck.
 * He's doomed, but lingers day by day.

Board:
 * Her husband's doomed! Hurray! hurray!

2nd Teacher:
 * My husband's kind and healthy, too

Board:
 * Why, then, of course, you will not do.

2nd Teacher:
 * Just hear me out. You'll find you're wrong.
 * It's true his body's good and strong;
 * But, ah, his wits are all astray.

Board:
 * Her husband's mad. Hip, hip, hurray!
