Description
Excerpt from The Chancery Suit
Scene I. - Room an Inn. - The Sea-beach visible from a window.
Enter Tapsly and Michael
Taps. Shut the door upstairs, Michael; the Select Vestry are getting noisy in their cups.
Voices. (without) Hip, hip, hip, hurrah!
Mich. Oh, what a cruel disturbance, sure!
Taps. Have you been up to the garret to your old Aunt Rucket? Mrs. Tapsly says she is worse.
Mich. Yes, Master; she be near her end, I reckon. You have been very kind to the poor old bedridden dame.
Taps. Why, Michael, your aunt is one of my family, you know, and if we lose her, she will go off at a good wholesome old age.
Mich. (wipes his eyes) She was ninety-one last goose day!
Voices. (without) Hip, hip, hip, hurrah!
Mich. Dang it, be quiet, can't ye, - that would wake the devil.
Taps. You must take three bottles more to the gentlemen of the Select Vestry; how many does that make?
Mich. Eleven of port and six of sherry, sir.
