Seite 2 - At four I sought my whirling bed; At eight I woke with such a head ! It is no time for mirth and laughter, The cold, gray dawn of the morning after!
Seite 36 - Mrs. Taylor: Oh, awful message How it chills my heart. Janitor: The flames are roaring loudly, Oh, what a fearful sound !

TAYLOR: What does it mean, what does it mean? This smell of smoke may indicate, That we'll be burned— oh-hh, awful fate! MR.
