Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Bishops Move: A Comedy in Three Acts Scene: - The Refectory of the Abbey of Veyle, near Dinan in Brittany. A printing press is set along the walls. There is a writing table with papers on it and a large pewter ink-pot. The pulpit overlooking the refectory must be in a conspicuous position. The windows above the printing press are mullioned, one is broken and covered with canvas, which must also be visible to the audience. There is a small side door leading into another room and two large double doors at the back. There are no other exits. Before the curtain rises the Brothers are heard chanting, they continue for a moment or two after the curtain has risen. When they cease, a bell rings and the workmen seated at the printing press rise and go out. Monsignor Campden is seated at the table writing. Francis Hericourt in the dress of a seminarist, is pacing up and down. Francis - They seem ready for their dinner. (L. C.) Monsig: - The Bishop gives them such excellent meals, that every peasant in the district will soon turn printer. But his lordship will not see that they are eating up more than the profits. Francis - Probably he makes their work an excuse for feeding them during the slack months. He must know that it doesn´t pay. Monsig There is very little that your uncle does not observe!
