Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from In the Nick of Time: A Serio-Comic Drama in Three Acts (Nancy opens the door and ushers in Abner, Conrad, David, and Miner, armed with guns, etc.) Nancy. Come right in, gentlemen, all of you. We keep open house to-night. Kitty. Yes; walk right in, gentlemen. Plenty of room for a hearty welcome. Abner (aside, glancing at Kitty). Kitty Mason, as I live! How changed! Yet she can be no other than Kitty. So changed, and yet how the old love takes possession of every fibre of my being. Can it be possible, when I thought the old passion had died out long ago? Love! love! Is it not rather desire for revenge. Conrad. We´re rough-looking customers, but honest as the day is long. Going for the gold-fields, some fifteen or twenty miles away we hear. Don´t be afraid of us; but give us supper and breakfast, and we will tramp. We will pay you, for we´re honest. Sort of rough diamonds, or diamonds in the rough. (As the conversation goes on the men dispose of arms, etc., and take seats.) Nancy. Make yourselves at home, gentlemen. Supper is fortunately nearly ready now. Miner. Yes; and to-morrow for the gold-fields. Lots of the yellow dust, we hear. Nancy. So says Dame Rumor. And were I a man how quickly would 1 start for that field. But I´m only a woman. Miner. That need not stand in the way. I mean your sex should prove no barrier to riches. Why, my dear young lady, I will - you; I - I - Nancy. Sir! Miner. Now don´t! pray don´t! Upon the honor of a true knight-errant I meant no harm. Excuse me, Miss - Miss - Nancy. You make a miss or two of it. Miner. And as you are also a miss, there´s a good miss for both you and me. Nancy. Well, I must say that you make yourself wonderfully at home for a perfect stranger. Miner. Excuse me. Miss Norton, I´ve some good qualities; but I make no pretensions to perfection by any means. Nancy (aside). I wonder how the wretch caught my name. But I do believe I like the rascal after all. (Aloud.) You´re quite right, Mr. - Mr. - Miner. Did not quite catch my name. (Aside.) But she´s caught me. Looks just as she did when we made mud pies together. Well, I´ve made a mash. Smitten as well as myself. Miner, you re in luck, and I congratulate you most heartily! Splendid young lady! (Aloud.) Have you caught my name yet? Nancy. Certainly I have. You´re a miner, are you not? Miner. You are a witch. No, no! I beg pardon - a fairy; for Miner is my name. How easily you guessed it.
