As the scene opens, he is standing on the bank of the Styx, looking for Charonj STEWART: Charon! CThe sound of oars is heard in the distance, and then Charon appears out of the darknessj STEWART: Will you take me across? CHARON: You are a mortal. What are you doing here? STEWART: I have Jove' permission to visit Hades. I am looking for the members of my graduating class at the Bancroft School. Do you know if they are here? CHARON: You came to the right place. Everyone comes here sooner or later. Do you want to see anyone in particular? STEWART: No. I want to find all of my classmates. CI-IARON: Fine! Suppose you give me their names, and I will tell you what I know about each of them. STEWART: All right. Now then, Irving Chase- CHARON: Oh, yes. He must have neglected his music on earth, because all he does now is fiddle. Pluto gave him a piece to play that has no ending. STEWART: How about Tommy Stinson? CHARON: He sits at a telephone and calls and calls, but he always gets the wrong number. ' STEWART: There was Gertrude Wells- CHARON: She and Carol Churchman spend their time reading dime novels. They are forming a library of the most bloody, hair-raising books that have been produced since 1932. STEWART: Is Walter Barnard here? CHARON: Yes. His ability to make weird sounds got him the job of teaching Pluto's frogs how to croak correctly. STEWART: Henry Pinny- CHARON: He is my treasure. He put this ferry business on a paying basis. He will collect your penny when we reach the other side.
