A narrator recalls leaving the Masons after a comic night when his wife and guests coaxed him to bring home a wandering goat from a lodge meeting. He recounts three chaotic “rounds” in the hall with the animal, the audience cheering, and a final vow to quit the lodge to spare his household further upheaval.
A clergyman complains of squeaking shoes saying some have too much music in their soles. A witty exchange features Patrick and a loaded gun metaphor. A shopper quotes a light hearted lyric about the "Sweet Buy and Buy" as a jaunty remark.
