Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Kansas Immigrants Scene I. A shanty in Kansas, divided into two rooms by a quilt hung up to serve as a partition. If convenient the quilt may be hung at the back of the stage, allowing room enough for a person, to pass between it and the wall; or, a sort of apartment may easily be set off to the R. by setting tip a light frame-work of wooden strips, and tacking muslin, or two bed-quilts on it. Joe Cope and Sam Gross discovered. Joe. We´ve done got to Kansas at last, Sam; dis yere is de land´o freedom. Sum. Dat´s about de fac´, Joe. Dah´s no more hoein´de cotton in de brilin´ sun down in Louisian´. A man can work in dese vigoratin´ breezes all day, an sit in de shade foh an houah at de noonin´. Joe. Sam, you´s fohgittin´ youhself. Don´t talk to me ´bout de cotton pickin´. You know I don´t undehstan´ de labor subjec´. I was coachman in one of de fust families. You needn´t talk cotton to me. Say, Sam, ´bout what time of yeah does de notton pickin´ set in? Sam. Yah! ha! ha! Joe you´s playin´ dat a little too fine. ´Spose you wouldn´t know a cotton plant from a cabbage plant. (Confidentially.) Say, Joe, don´t you mention ´bout bein´ coachman in one of de fust families. It might injure youah expectations. Dey ham´t got no fust families heah. Dey´s all common folks. Dey might like powful well to have youah sarvices, but you see mebbe dey couldn´t ford it. (Pokes Joe in the ribs.) Joe. You´ve done touched a painful subjec´, Sam Gross, an´ dah´ll be a coolness in dis committee if you don´t stop. I didn´t come to Kansas to mind de grasshoppers ´way from de millin patches, I kin tell you. I´m gwine to handle de reins like a gentleman. Sam. Yah! ha! ha! It´ll be de reins of a mule team haulin´ gravel on de railroad, I´ll bet. Joe. Sam Gross, you pains me. I always knowed you was kind ´o low in youh tastes, but I never ´spected dis yere.
