Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Signs and Wonders Though I tell Johnnie it´s his own fault. He shouldn´t have teased him. [Enter R.a few thousand savages -with flint weapons.] Second Man. Boys will be boys. Woman. Which is no reason, I say, that they shouldn´t learn to behave themselves. First Man. Can´t begin too soon, in my opinion. [Exeunt savages: enter the population of India.] Woman. He might have been killed if a man hadn´t come up and pulled the dog oft him. A black man, he was, too. First Man. What? A nigger? Woman. Or a Turk, or something. I can´t never see the difference. [With a shiver.] Ugh! I hate black men, somehow. The look of ´em gives me the shudders. Second Man [on a note of faint expostulation] My dear! First Man. I´ve heard others say the same thing. Woman. A pretty penny, Johnnie´ll cost us, with the Doctor and all. [Enter two armies engaged in a Civil War] First Man [shaking his head, wisely] Ah! I daresay it will. Second Man. I don´t know what we´re coming to, what with wages and prices and Lord knows what all? First Man. No more do I. Why, only yesterday. [The rest of his sentence is drowned by the firing of a battery of heavy guns.] Woman. Oh! well, I suppose it´ll all come right in time. [The Civil War moves off L. Signs of the approaching end of the -world become manifest.] First Man. We´ll hope for the best, I´m sure. [The Hosts of Heaven appear in the sky.] Second Man [reflectively] On the whole, I should say that things looked a bit better than they did.
