Ebag Monologue from The Great Adventure: A Play of Fancy in Four Acts

From The Great Adventure: A Play of Fancy in Four Acts by Arnold Bennett

I'm afraid I shall have to ask you to state publicly that you are Ilam Carve, and that there must have been--er--some misapprehension, somewhere, over that funeral. (CARVE: Publicly? Why?) It's like this, I've been selling those pictures to Texel in New York. You remember, he's always been one of your principal collectors. He's getting old, and he's half-blind, but he still buys. Now, I rely on my judgment, and I guaranteed those pictures to be genuine Carves. Well, somebody over there must have had suspicions. (CARVE: What does that matter? There isn't a date on any of them.) Just so. But in one of those pictures there's most distinctly a taxi-cab. It isn't a private motor car. It's a taxi.
