Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Double Shuffle Scene. - A drawing-room with window at back opening on garden. Doors u. and L. Belle Somers discovered seated at piano, L. C., accompanying her brother, who is singing a college song as he walks up and down the room with his hands in his pockets. Fred Somers (singing). - Nut-brown maiden Thou hast a very tiny foot. Nut-brown maiden, Thou hast a tiny foot. The tiny foot is thine, love, The shoe upon it ni-i-i-i- Belle (stopping suddenly and turning round on piano stool). Fred, my dear brother, you poor fellows must be dreadfully hard-worked at college! Fred (stroking his moustache). Yes, rather ! But what put that idea into your head so suddenly, just as I was about to size up the nut-brown maiden´s foot? Belle (taking book of college songs from piano and opening it on her lap). Well, I read somewhere a description of the New York Stock Exchange, telling how the brokers when their brains were racked after an exciting day´s work, would play leap-frog as a kind of relaxation, and indulge in all sorts of childish games and foolishness. Fred. I believe they do. But what of that? Belle. Only that it seems to me you college men are so wearied by study, that it is as a kind of relief for your minds you sing such nonsensical songs as these (holding up book). Fred. Nonsensical songs! you don´t know what you are talking about, Belle! Why, those are the finest songs in the world! You should see the audiences that assemble when our (lice Club gives a concert, - the most cultured people in the city attend. Belle. I should say the Browning Societies would certainly be there. Fred. Of course they would; but why do you mention them in particular? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
