THE BOGIE MEN
_Scene: A Shed near where a coach stops. Darby comes in. Has a tin
can of water in one hand, a sweep's bag and brush in the other. He
lays down bag on an empty box and puts can on the floor. Is taking a
showy suit of clothes out of bag and admiring them and is about to
put them on when he hears some one coming and hurriedly puts them
back into the bag_.
_Taig: (At door.)_ God save all here!
_Darby:_ God save you. A sweep is it? _(Suspiciously.)_ What
brought you following me?
_Taig:_ Why wouldn't I be a sweep as good as yourself?
_Darby:_ It is not one of my own trade I came looking to meet with.

appearance, rinsing my head and my features in a tin can of water.
