a real man see! Let's keep it up! _The Sailor D. (dubiously)._ D'ye think as we can _do_ it? _The Soldier D._ You stick by me, and I will see you through it. Sit up, and turn your toes out,--don't you loll; Put on the Man, and drop the bloomin' Doll! [_The_ Sailor Doll _pulls himself together, and rises from chair importantly_. _The Sailor D.
