Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Leave It to Polly: A Comedy in Two Acts, for Female Characters Only Polly. Well, perhaps it isn´t. You see, you weren´t raised on a ranch. Why, girls, sometimes I think I shall go mad to be always cooped up in this stifling place, pretending to study. If I could just get out and run, and run, and run! Mar. (slamming a book down). Hang! All. Marion! Mar. I don´t care! I can´t learn that stuff and furthermore I´m not going to try! Polly. Good! I´m glad that some one has a little spirit. Lil. That´s no way to talk. You ought to be ashamed, Polly Ann, to stir the girls up the way you do. Polly. Stir the girls up? I? Shade of St. Christopher, it would take a cyclone! Viv. Polly, are we really so very slow? Polly. Slow? Goodness, no, dear. You are so rapid that you put the Boston elevated to shame! Lil. Polly, if Miss Harding heard you, you would have fifty lines more to add to your misery. Polly. It´s worth it to be able to speak your mind freely. Ina. Fifty lines wouldn´t be any misery for Polly. How can you learn the way you do? Polly. Just a system I have. I look at the first word in the line and the last and guess at what´s in between. Say, let´s go out as long as we have that inestimable privilege at this hour of the day. Lil. Go out? Why, Polly, we aren´t half ready for tonight. Ina. If the dominoes don´t come on the next train, what shall we do? Mar. Make some ourselves. Polly. Goodness, make our costumes? Mar. Yes. They´re really nothing but sheets. Lil. Don´t you believe her! They do look something like sheets, but they make them awfully cute at the costume places. We couldn´t make them half as well. Viv. You needn´t worry! I telephoned up to Hayden this noon and he said they would be here sure. Didn´t you ever see a domino, Polly? Polly. No. We didn´t celebrate Hallowe´en on the ranch. To tell the truth, I never heard of it until a week ago. All. What? Mar. Polly Ann, do you mean to say that you never went to a Hallowe´en party?
