The porter brought a glass of water. He brought a second glass. She drank them both—and took up her song afresh—“My, but I was dry. I was so awfully dry. I never was so dry In all my life. Dear me, but I was dry.” “Oh, Great Scott, woman," sang out the man across the way, "dry up and let me sleep!"
