Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sympathetic Souls: A Comedietta in One Act, Founded on the French of Eugene Scribe Scene. - A sitting-room. Doors R. and L. French window at the back, opening upon a garden. Piano open with a sheet of music on it; on top of the piano a violin. A man´s portrait. Sofa. Enter L., as curtain rises, Parkinson, followed by Mr. Ponsonby, who crosses her to R. C. Park. My mistress will be down directly, sir. Pon. How is she? Park. Just the same. Pon. In tears still? Park. Morning, noon, and night. Pon. That´s bad. Park. I never saw the like of it. The idea of a woman crying her eyes out for a husband who´s been dead a twelvemonth, when, if she only looked about her, she might have a new one any day she liked. Pon. It´s curious, Parkinson, but it is human nature. She might have a new one - plenty of new ones - so she doesn´t want a new one. She can´t have the old one - so she wants the old one. Park. (C.) Was he very good to her? Pon. (R. C.) On the contrary, he treated her so badly that they had to separate. In England he could do no good at all: he disagreed with everybody. By way of giving him another chance, his partner shipped him to the River Plate. There he began by disagreeing with the climate - missed his chance - and caught the yellow lever. Park. I don´t see much to cry about in that. Pon. You forget, Parkinson, he has been dead twelve months. Time, like a fashionable artist, does not paint the warts. Good husbands are like original dramatists - always dead. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
