The Bicyclers TITLE OF SOURCE: AUTHOR'S NAME - FIRST: LAST: DESCRIPTION: Visual Text [By this time all are gazing out of window, except Perkins, who is nursing his ankle.<br><br>Perkins. I guess not. I'm not going to lie down in the road, or sit in the road, or stand in the road to stop him or anybody else. I don't believe I've got a sound bone left; but if I have, I'm going to save it, if Bradley kills himself. If his lamp's out the police will stop him. Why not be satisfied with that?<br><br>Bradley (passing the window). For Heaven's sake! one of you fellows stop me.<br><br>Yardsley. Put on the brake.<br><br>Barlow. Fall off. It hasn't got a brake.<br><br>Bradley (despairingly, in distance). Can't.<br><br>Mrs. Perkins. This is frightful.<br><br>Perkins (with a grimace at his ankle). Yes; but there are other fearful things in this world.<br><br>Mrs. Bradley. I shall go crazy if he isn't stopped. He'll kill himself.<br><br>Yardsley (leaving window hurriedly). I have it. Got a length of clothes-line, Mrs. Perkins?<br><br>Barlow. What the dickens--<br><br>Mrs. Perkins. Yes.<br><br>[She rushes from the room.<br><br>Mrs. Bradley. What for?<br><br>Yardsley. I'll lasso him, next time he comes around.<br><br>Perkins (with a grin). There'll be two of us! We can start a hospital on the top floor.<br><br>Mrs. Perkins (returning). Here--here's the line.<br><br>[Yardsley takes it hurriedly, and, tying it into a noose, hastens out.<br><br>Perkins (rising). If I never walk again, I must see this. [Limps to window.<br><br>Mrs. Bradley. He's coming, Mr. Yardsley; don't miss him.
