Excerpt from My New Curate Scene: Father Dan´s Study. Very Plain, with religious furnishings. Window, Doors It. & C., Table, Chairs, Armchair, Fireplace, Bookcase, Lamp lighted, Large picture of Madonna on wall. Father Dan discovered in armchair, musing. Mary and Jamesey - two small children - discovered seated on floor; Mary reading large picture book, and Jamesey building house with toy blocks - Time, Night. Fr. Dan (to himself) Well, after all it´s all my own fault, this sudden change of curates, a deserved rebuke from bis Lordship, the Archbishop. I was too free with my tongue. In a thoughtless moment, half in earnest, half in jest, I said, "What do I care for the Archbishop? I am a parish priest, and independent of anyone. So what can he do?" The impertinence was carried to his Lordship, and he answered, "What can I do? I can send him a new curate that will break his heart in six weeks." Hence the removal of my life-long friend and companion, Fr. Tom, and the arrival here one week ago of this learned Fr. Letheby, D.D. Humph! A Doctor of Divinity no less! Well, his Lordship has certainly trained a big gun against the heart of plain Fr. Hanrahan. But will he hit the mark? Well, time will tell, time will tell, (resumes reading.) Jamesey (surveying his block-house) Look, Mary, I´ve done it. Mary - Isn´t it grand? (touches blocks and they fall down.) Jamesey (Crying) Now you´ve gone and spoiled it. Mary - I didn´t mean to, Jamesey. Honest! I didn´t. Jamesey - Yes you did too. I´m going to tell ma. Fr. Dan - Here! Here! stop your quarreling, you little pagans. Mrs. D. (off stage in loud angry tones) "Dirt," says he, "Dirt." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
