Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Eight One-Act Plays Enter Sir Blennerhassett Postlethwaite in dressing-gown and night-cap, carrying a bedroom candle. Postlethwaite. It´s useless trying to sleep; I´m too nervous and excited.

I´m going to be called upon to take the chair at the Meeting of the Peace Society. The Society of Universal Peace. No Army; no Navy; no more violence; the reign of amity begins at last.They are going to present me with a cup. Here it is. My Secretary chose it. Very nice cup. I shall have to make a speech; an impromptu. I have been the whole week trying to get it off by heart. My Secretary wrote it. Think of them there in their thousands, in their serried ranks applauding me. I shall have the wittiest answers ready in reply to all interruptions. My Secretary will do the interruptions. I should like to run through some of the most telling passages only there´s no one to hear me. However, I´ll try.
