Somers Monologue from The Ghost of Jerry Bundler

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

Yes, I have known him a good many years now, and I must say he's a rum chap; just crazy about acting and practical joking, though I've often told him he carries the latter too far at times. In this case it doesn't matter, but I won't let him try it on the old gentleman. You see we know what he's going to do, and are prepared, but he doesn't, and it might lead to illness or worse; the old chap's sixty-two and such a shock might have serious consequences. But Hirst won't mind giving up that part of it, so long as he gets an opportunity of acting to us. LEEK (knocks pipe on grate). Well, I hope he'll hurry up. It's getting pretty late. ((To SOMERS.)) (MALCOLM: Well, gentlemen, your health!) Good luck.
