Boston, Massachusetts, USA (East, North, South) (Allston) (Readville) (Roslindale)
1846 - SCENE: A street in Boston.

Dramais Persona: Jonathan, a youth from the country visiting the city for the first time. Susan, his intended; both in rustic garbs; both eagerly devouring all the sights with their eyes, and large quantities of gingerbread and candy with their teeth.

"Jonathan (liquitor) - Didn't I tell you we'd have a good time in Boston."

"Susan (sucking a stick of molasses candy) - Yes; but you havn't tok me to the Museum yet."

"Jonathan - Why, that's a theatre place, Suke, and it costs twenty-five cents apiece! Theatres are bad places."

"Susan - never mind that, this once. Won't you go. Say yes."

"Jonathan - Waal, yes; if you won't ask me to buy any more candy for you, and if you won't go with Jim Meadows any more."

"Susan promises, grins, and sucks her molasses candy with great satisfaction. Exeunt, Indian file. - Yankee Nation."
