An Irish horsecar driver’s daughter meets New York showman Tony Pastor and goes into vaudeville.

He conducted traffic at the corner of Broadway and Duane, where a horsecar line ran.

The horsecar is the poor man's private carriage, as carefully fashioned for his convenience, as tidy and comfortable and comely, as if it cost him hundreds of dollars, instead of the daily sixpence.

He has so far thrown himself out of relation with American life that he describes a Boston horsecar or a New York hotel table with a sort of amused wonder.

The next morning Susan started for the office as usual, thinking the worst was over, but as not a single horsecar or stage was running, she took the ferry to Flushing to visit her cousins.
