THE LAND OF MANY NAMES
First Sandwichman:
Vandergold has been left behind by Dollarson.
Dollarson leads and Vandergold has withdrawn.
Second Sandwichman:
Vandergold is handicapped!
Put your money on Dollarson!
Dollarson:
It’s clear, my friend, that you’ve allowed the events to take you by surprise. I’m astonished that you didn’t realise, that you didn’t seize the opportunity of doing business in the matter of the New Land.
Vandergold:
What’s that you say?
Dollarson:
What? The New Land, the Land of Hopes!
Vandergold:
And what else?
The Crowd:
The Land of New Happiness!
Chorus of Paupers:
The Land of the Poor!
Vandergold:
It’s got other names as well. Everywhere they call it differently.
Dollarson:
Bah! what does the name matter? It is the new sixth continent.
