  • Talked About: A Comedy Drama in Four Acts

    Charles E. Wright

    Hardcover (Forgotten Books, Jan. 23, 2018)
    Excerpt from Talked About: A Comedy Drama in Four ActsA back street in St. Louis. "Furnished Rooms to Let" is seen on a house. Discovered: George Dilworthy and Wm. Reyburn engaged in conversation while persons pass.Dilworthy. Where is Connery: I have not seen him today?Reyburn. Nor have I, more's the pity, for my throat is parched more than old Falstaff's.Dilworthy. Connery throws many a good dollar away on you, Billy: what is the hold you have on him?Reyburn. Ah, Mr. George, there is a divinity that shapes our ends and so forth, and there is an affinity that brings gentlemen together.Dilworthy. Rot; you have served Connery in putting him in possession of information about the approachable and unapproachable of the ladies, or rather the women, of your profession.Reyburn. That is neither here nor there, as the great Bard says, but I catch the lay of Mr. Connery's feelings and talk, and make it a point to interest and amuse him, for base ingratitude has no place in my bosom. [Strikes his breast.[Miss Rentwine and Miss Connery cross the stage, the former bowing to Dilworthy.Dilworthy. By Jingo; she's a higher stepper; grace and beauty vie with each other in her make-up. That's Connery's sister with her, isn't it Billy?Reyburn. I have not as much acquaintance with his family and relatives, as with Mr. Connery, but I know that is Miss Connery. She does not somehow appreciate your humble servant, so to speak.Dilworthy. Billy, they are in a strange locality.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
