Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Purse: A Comedy in Two Acts Scene 1. - Madame Leseigneur´s apartments in Hotel Gibraltar. [Enter Madame Leseigneur and Adelaide.] A. Come, mamma, let us dress! It is almost time for our walk. See, what a beautiful day we have! The sun is shining brightly from the bluest of skies, and the air seems to distill a heavenly elixir! O these September days, mamma, are they not glorious? M. L. Ah, my child, September brings me at once the happiest and the saddest of memories. It was in September I was married; in September, sixteen years ago, you were born; and in September, alas! your poor father was killed in battle. A. Dear papa! I am so proud of him! General Kergaronet always says to me, "Yes, my dear Adelaide, we fought like tigers that day! Three times we advanced, and three times we were repulsed. In the third attack, a German officer broke through my guard, and cut me this ugly scar, clean across my cheek - see, my dear! and a tall giant of a soldier had his bayonet within a foot of my throat - when up rushed your father, and cut! cut! - up with the bayonet! - down with the sword! - a thrust here! - a thrust there! - and both lay in a heap on the ground. Then forward he went like a lion - and - and - I saw him never again! - ah, my child! Since I can not pay the debt I owe to my dear, my honored friend - let me at least testify my gratitude to his daughter!"
