Excerpt from Blunders: Or That Man From Galway Charley. - No. Go in Duffy's and look in one of his beer glasses. Now Archie, I wrote to this Spangle and he writes me in reply, that it is impossible for him to come, but he sent me his photograph. I'm going to get some clever fellow to impersonate this poet, and this photograph will enable me to disguise him to look like Spangle. Archie. - Oh I see you are up to your old tricks again. Charley. - Yes while there's a thousand -. Fritz. - Say Charley, yon want to get somebody that looks like this picture here? Charley. - That's the idea. Fritz. - I know just the man you want. Charley. - Well, where is he? Fritz. - He's dead now, if he was alive you could get him. Archie. - What's the matter with your brother, can't he play the poet? Fritz. - He's in jail, he won't be out for three years. Charley. - Well, we can't allow this money to slip through our fingers. We must get somebody to play the poet? Fritz. - Say Chaney, does this hat look good on me? Charley. - Oh bother the hat, let it drop. Fritz. - No, I won't do it. Charley. - Won't do what? Fritz. - Won't let the hat drop. Do I want to spoil it - "looks off, R." Charley. - Let the subject drop. Now Archie, you can play the poet ? Archie. - No, I can't play the poet. Let him play it, him and the hat.
