Excerpt from Daily Bread: The Garret and Other Dramatic Poems

The folk were kind. Isaac. Aye, folk are kind enough, As far as words go, And are always willing To squander breath on strangers; For city-folk are not like hill-folk, Adah. But why did you leave home adah. To come to you But you're not pleased to see me.

Excerpt from Daily Bread: The Garret and Other Dramatic Poems

Scene: A garret in the slums, furnished only with abed. It is almost midnight; but Adah Robson, with her hat and jacket on, and an old carpet-bag by her side, sits on an empty box by the window, in the light reflected from the lamps in the court below. Presently a step is heard on the stairs; the door opens, and Isaac Oxley enters.

Isaac. You ... Adah ... here!

Adah. Yes, Isaac, I have come.

Isaac. Come ... Adah ... come?
But how've you come so far?

Adah. Much of the way I walked,
And only took the train,
When I could trail no farther.

Isaac. 'Twas a long way for you to come alone.
