Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Uncle Abe An elegant room, appropriately furnished. One door R. and L., also one C. in in the background. First Scene. Ellen sits R., near a table. An embroidery lies near her, on the table. She unwinds a skein of red worsted which William holds out to her, standing in front of her. Ellen. - We better stop now, as you seem to get tired holding up your hands for such a long while. William. Tired? me? How can you think that anything could tire me which I do for you? I am ready to do anything you may ask of me. (Emphatically) Anything whatever. Ellen (laughingly). - Anything whatever? William (in the same tone). - You don´t believe me? Oh, how I wish a fire would break out in this house to-night - Ellen. Nonsense! William. - The flames ascend to heaven - the beams are in fire - the walls crack - you appear at the window of your room up stairs, crying for help, not knowing what to do in your anguish - the stairs are burning - every way of rescue is cut off - nobody dares to go into the house as it may crush him and you under its ruins at every moment you are lost! Ellen. Stop, stop! the very thought of such an occurrence frightens me! - William. - But no, I am there! - I rush into the flames, hurry up stairs, take you in my arms, and carry you out of the burning building - you are saved! (Has unknowingly come nearer and nearer to Ellen, and is about to grasp her hand as if he was in reality trying to do of what he spoke.) Ellen (taking him by both hands, shoves him back to where he stood before; puts his hands in the right position again, and goes on winding the worsted). - Keep cool, young man, or we will have a big muss. William. Or, if you would fall in the water - Oh, I can swim! - how gladly would I jump after you - catch hold of you, and - Ellen. - You better catch a hold of the worsted in the right way first, because if you go on this way we will never get through with it. (Laughing) It is a curious desire of yours to murder me either by fire or water, I declare. William. - What, murder you!
