Hirst Monologue from The Ghost of Jerry Bundler

From The Ghost of Jerry Bundler by W. W. (William Wymark) Jacobs

male · comedic · 54 sec

Just for the joke, gentlemen (C.). (SOMERS: No, no--drop it, Hirst.) Only for the joke. Look here, I've got some things that'll do very well. We're going to have some amateur theatricals at my house. We're doing a couple of scenes from "The Rivals," Somers, (pointing to SOMERS) and I have been up to town to get the costumes, wigs, etc., to-day. I've got them up-stairs--knee-breeches, stockings, buckled shoes, and all that sort of thing. It's a rare chance. If you wait a bit, I'll give you a full dress rehearsal, entitled "Jerry Bundler, or the Nocturnal Stranger." ((At door L.)). LEEK (sneeringly). You won't frighten us, will you?
