Excerpt from The Commuters: A Comedy in Four Acts Hetty. (entering R. With Herald and World) Oh, Larry you're awake at last, are you? Larry. Fine chance I'd have to sleep with this burglar-alarm having hysterics. How do you fix the thing? Hetty. (gives him papers; takes clock, turns of alarm) I thought that one would get you up. It's a new one I bought yesterday. They call it the Commuter's Joy. Larry. The old one was joy enough.
