Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Dramatic Composition: The Fate of Mr. Brady Enter Mrs. Brady. (Parlor scene here). Mrs. Brady - Good evening, dear. Why, I thought he was here! He said that he would return positively at 8 o´clock. It is now 9 o´clock, and he has not yet returned. I wonder what keeps him out until now? Must I sit here all alone until he returns? Oh! here he comes! Enter Mr. Brady. Mrs. B. - What kept you so long, dear? Mr. Brady - Business. The worries of business make one almost frantic sometimes. Mrs. B. - Has anything gone wrong? Mr. B. - Gone wrong?. (He laughs). Why, only six months ago I invested one hundred thousand dollars in a concern that was reputed to be the most reliable and solvent concern in the country, and a few hours ago I was told by the president of it that the whole affair is insolvent. Mrs. B. - Do not allow that to worry you, dear, for while there is life there is also hope. You have a few thousand dollars left. If you invest it wisely it won´t be long ere you retrieve your loss. When you and I were married you had only five thousand dollars to your name. You had just graduated from a business school. You entered the field of commerce with knowledge, only; you had no experience, but fortunately you had a friend who instructed you regarding how to invest and when to invest. You invested, met with success and made two hundred thousand dollars. A few months ago you were the owner of one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars in cash. Today, you own only twenty-five thousand dollars. That the loss of one hundred thousand dollars is great, I´ll admit, but at the same time you have gained much experience instead. Do not be a poltroon. You cannot always lose. The other fellow has got his. You try and get yours, but in all you do, let honesty be your guide. Mr. B. - Honesty? (He laughs).
