Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Loyal Luke Scene I. - Reading Room Palmeth Rouse. Phil. Wallace and Tom Dayton seated at table. Phil. Well Tom old boy, you don´t seem to enjoy your vacation as well this year as you did the last. Tom No Phil, this has been a very dull vacation indeed. Last year Lou and I had excellent sport gunning in the woods and marshes, but now he seems to have lost all desire for sport. Phil. (sneering) Perhaps the boy is in love and his heart is in the keeping of his fair sweetheart. Tom That he is in love, is no secret, at least to me, and Phil. one could hardly blame him, in fact I have a tendency to feel the same way toward the same damsel. Phil. Ah, and who may the fair one be, some Lilly of the North I suppose. Tom Yes a Miss Bennet. But a truce to this Phil. I expect Lou to drop in every minute, and am sure he would not be pleased to hear us discuss the charms of his lady love. What do you say to a game of uchre for pastime. (takes cards from table.) Phil. I´m satisfied, (they commence the game.) By the way Tom, you need not feel the least down hearted, over the loss of your shooting for if I am any judge we will all have larger game than quails and rice birds to shoot ere long. Tom Phil do you really believe that war will follow, as the result of Lincoln´s inauguration. Phil. Undoubtedly so. The insults that have been heaped upon our Senators and Representatives in the National House have been borne in silence too long, and now despite our protests they force upon us a President whose presence at the Capitol is a insult to the memory of the illustrous Virginian Washington. Yes sir, in my opinion war is inevitable. Enter Lon. Wallace and Guy Lennox, R. Guy Well gentlemen, sorry we kept you so long without our company, but I see you have been enjoying yourselves. Phil Yes, Tom and I have been discussing the war question, over our wine. Lou. (hand paper to Phil.) And I believe that the prophecy I heard you express, as we entered, will be fullfilled, unless the sensible liberty loving people of the South, take immediate steps to crush such fire brands as the writer - of that editorial in to-days Examiner.
