Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from After Ten Years or the Maniac Wife: An Original Romantic Drama, in Three Acts Scene First. - A wood. Enter from l., Jonathan Dobbs and Frank Wallace. Dobbs. Wa´al, I´ve done as I agreed - yonder is Lone Cliff, and all you´ve got to do is to follow your nose, and you´ll soon be there. Wallace. Well my good fellow, I´m sorry to lose your companionship; so suppose you accompany me to the home of this mountain recluse. Dobbs. No, thank ye; Jonathan Dobbs ain´t quite as big a fool as he looks. I went tear onct stranger, and I allow I´ll not go again. No, "not if the court knows herself, and I think she do." Wallace. Did you see a ghost, or did the old man set the dog on you? Dobbs. Wa´al - no, I didn´t exactly see a ghost, but I did see the queerest old chap I ever sot eyes on, and as crazy as a March hare. Wallace. H´m - this is indeed interesting. And does this old man live alone, so far from human companionship? Dobbs. No - I don´t think he does - when I was thar, I didn´t ´zactly see any one else, but I heerd some one else. Wallace. Heard some one else? Dobbs. Yes, and unless I made an allfired mistake, it was a female woman´s voice I heard too. Wallace. A woman´s voice? Dobbs. Yes, and it sounded as sweet and purty as a black-bird´s in the spring. Wallace. What did she say? Dobbs. Ye see, the old man was a given it to me hot and heavy, fer trespassin´ as he called it, an a gitten´ hisself worked up into a towerin´ rage, when that thur voice said - kinder coaxin´ and sweet - "Now father don´t get angry, I don´t believe the man means any harm," and the old chap cooled right down an´ went into the house, meek as a kitten. Wallace. And you did not see the owner of the voice? Dobbs. Not even her shadder. I didn´t care to ask any questions; fur I was mighty glad to git out o´ that with a hull skin. Wallace. How long have these queer people lived here? Dobbs. Let me see - nigh about ten years - as nigh as I kin recollect.
