Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Prize Essay: Or "Boy Wanted", A Comedy for Girls, in Two Acts Scene: A wood. Log near back. Hester, discovered, pacing hack and forth, looking anxiously and nervously in all directions. Hester. Why doesn´t she come? She said she would be sure to be here early, and it seems as though I have been waiting for hours already. But I suppose I haven´t. [Pause, still walking hack and forth uneasily] Dear me! how my heart beats! It´s the hardest work in the world to be really downright wicked! I´m almost tempted to back out even now! If it wasn´t that Kate is always winning all the honors of the class, I´d run and dig up her old essay this very minute, and clear my skirts of the whole deal before it is too late! But - [Sets teeth firmly together] I won´t! I just won´t! If it wasn´t for her, I´d win at least "Honorable Mention" now and then, and I´m going to, too, this time! So, there, Mr. Conscience, just you "get thee behind me!" But O! what would the teachers say if they knew what a wicked, wicked girl they are harboring here at Blankville High School? But they shan´t know! No, sir! [Walks to R.] Carrie enters L., hobbling in on cane, follows Hester stealthily to R., lays hand on arm, speaks in cracked voice. Carrie. Not so fast, my pretty little lady! Hester [screams.] O-o-o-o-h! [Carrie laughs a mocking laugh in her cracked voice. Hester slowly recover] About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
