Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Girl in the Picture: A Play in Two Acts Scene - Deacon Backslap´s living-room. George, son of the deacon, about thirty years of age, good-looking, well-groomed, is seated in a reclining chair, alone. Time - About five o´clock in the afternoon. George - I wonder what mother will say if she finds it out? Dashed if I would have thought it possible! What in the world could have struck dad, anyway? Think of it: A deacon in the church! President of the Lily-white Society for the Suppression of Sin! A man who has been preaching and leading crusades against vice for months until the papers are full of it! Think of it! Think of a man like that coming home in a cab - dead drunk! And in broad day-light! I´d give a dollar to know where he got it. Its a lucky thing that I answered the bell. If mother´s new maid had gone to the door, it would have been all over the town by this time. As it was, I had to carry him up to bed. I don´t think anyone knows anything about it except the cabby. Let´s see, (consulting his watch) he´s been in bed now about six hours. I hope he sleeps it off before mother comes home. If he Doesn´t - woof! - I can see a few shattered idols around here!
