Excerpt from Rags and Bottles, Vol. 8: The Two Waifs, an Original Commedy, in Two Acts Enter, Rev. Clearstarch, R., a sancümonious looking individual, with a bundle of tracts. Rev. Clearstarch, (looking about) Um-aw! Well, where am I? Methinks I have wandered from the straight road. Thinking of the present I bought for my daughter and allowing my mind to dwell on such worldly vanities, I have lost my way. Thus it is, the soul having but the bauble pleasures of this world in sight loses its way and wanders in forbidden paths. Um-aw, I must retrace my steps ere yet it be too late. (crosses L.) Yonder comes a stranger, I will enquire and perhaps he can direct me. But suppose he should be one of those unprincipled ruffians who resort to unlawful means to further their selfish ends. I will venture to address him, however, believing the dignity of my cloth will overawe him and make him respectful - Um-aw! Enter, Brisket, R., with basket, they collide and both bow in apology. Rev. C. My friend, can you tell me how to reach the house? Brisket. Yes, I can. Rev. C. Well, would you? Bris. Well, I might if you wanted me to. Rev. C. Then will you, please? Bris. Well, the nearest way is a roundabout way but the straightest way is the fartherest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
