Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Every-Day Life: A Play Carroll. If you please, make the shading a little heavier just there. So; that improves it. [While Lizzie continues drawing, Carroll moves off a little to look at books, &c., in library. Wise. [Speaking outside ] Come Lizzie [enters in muffler and gaiters, with riding-whip in hand], the horses are at the door, and we´ve a fine afternoon for a run over in Jersey. [Observing Carroll]. [Aside]. My new clerk, by all that´s wonderful. What can he be doing here, in my house, and alone with my daughter. Lizzie. Wait a moment, papa, and I´ll let you see how much I have improved with good instruction. Wise. Oh! he´s here giving lessons in drawing. [Aside]. He´s no doubt some foreign scapegrace, come over to this country, to mend his fortunes and makes use of his accomplishments, to get inside of people´s houses. Truly our houses are but little protection to us now-a-days. We have English burglars entering through the roof, Irish policemen in at the basement; and German, French, and Italian teachers of this and that thing, walking in by the hall door. Lizzie. There, papa, you´ll say that is better than my school girl scratches, as you used to call my drawing [showing a sketch. Wise. Very good indeed my child, if you - Lrzzie. If I did it all? I made every line; Mr. - why, I don´t yet know his name - never made a stroke of this. Wise. It´s very well done, and I´ll have a frame carved expressly for it. [Aside.] One of my office people here in my house, in business hours, too. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
