W. Pett Ridge, In the Reserved Compartment (1896)
“ Indignant Lady (shrieking) . Guard! Guard! Come here instantly. Look at this dreadful Scotchman forcing his way into the compartment. Guard (remonstratingly) . Now then, sir, what are you up to? What d'you want, aye? You mustn't go interfering with these ladies, you know. ”

“ Indignant Lady. Go away, please! Go away at once! This compartment is reserved for ladies. (Bitterly.) Can't you read what's on the window? Burly Gentleman. It's just preceesely for that reason——Indignant Lady (excitedly) . Somebody call the guard and have the dreadful man taken off. (To Burly Gentleman, wrathfully.) I'm ashamed of you, a man of your position in life. From Scotland, too, above all other places. ”

“ I suppose it's a subject I ought not to talk about, but it's his father's obstinate temper, if you want to know what it really means. I can see it peeping out of him, young as he is, already. He'll want a lot or correcting when he grows. ”
