Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sweethearts: An Original Dramatic Contrast, in Two Acts Jenny. Then he´s returned already? Why, he was not expected for a week, at least. Wilcox. He returned quite sudden last night, and left this here plant with a message that he would call at twelve o´clock to-day, miss. Jenny. I shall be very glad to see him. So this is really a shoot of the dear old tree! Wilcox. Come all the way from Lunnon, too. There´s lots of ´em hereabouts, miss; I could ha´ got you a armful for the asking. Jenny. Yes, I daresay; but this comes from the dear old house at Hampstead. Wilcox. Do it, now? Jenny. You remember the old sycamore on the lawn where Mr. Spreadbrow and I used to sit and learn our lessons years ago? - well, this is a piece of it. And as Mr. Spreadbrow was going to London, I asked him to be so kind as to call, and tell the new people, with his compliments, that he wanted to cut a shoot from it for a young lady who had a very pleasant recollection of many very happy hours spent under it. It was an awkward thing for a nervous young gentleman to do, and it´s very kind of him to have done it. (gives back the plant which he places against upper porch of house, L.) So he´s coming this morning? Wilcox. Yes, miss, to say good-bye. Jenny. (crosses to L. and busies herself at stand of flowers) Good-bye? "How d´ye do," you mean. Wilcox. No, miss, good-bye. I hear Mr. Spreadbrow´s off to Ingy. Jenny. Yes; I believe he is going soon. Wilcox. Soon? Ah, soon enough! He joins his ship at Southampton to-night - so he left word yesterday. Jenny. To-night? No; not for some weeks yet? (alarmed) Wilcox. To night, miss. I had it from his own lips, and he´s coming to-day to say good-bye. Jenny. (aside) To-night! Wilcox. And a good job too, say I, though he´s a nice young gentleman too. Jenny. I don´t see that it´s a good job. Wilcox. I don´t want no young gentlemen hanging about here, miss. I know what they comes arter; - they comes arter the flowers. Jenny. The flowers? What nonsense! Wilcox. No, it ain´t nonsense. The world´s a hap-hazard garden where common vegetables like me, and hardy annuals like my boys, and sour crabs like my old ´ooman, and pretty delicate flowers like you and your sisters grow side by side. It´s the flowers they come arter. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
