It Seems That Woman Passenger Was Bit Hasty
"Conductor," demanded the imperious-looking woman, as she paused on the platform of a crowded streetcar, "I thought I told you I wanted to get off at Rasput avenue?"
"But-" began the conductor.
"Don't make excuses. I know about your not being able to remember where everybody wants to get off. I've heard all that before!"
"But-"
"You may be sure," interrupted the woman, "I shall report you!"
She alighted, and the car started again.
The conductor touched his cap and called to the woman being left behind: "Sorry, but Rasput avenue is a mile farther on!"
