Opis: Cut Off With a Schilling - Theyre-Smith S.

Excerpt from Cut Off With a Schilling: A Comedietta in One Act

Scene. - A breakfast-room in a sea-side lodging house. Large window, C., opening upon a sea-side view; a door on one side; table

with breakfast laid.

Enter, Sam and Kitty arm-in-arm through window.

Kitty. But is my hair dry, Sam, darling

Sam. (touching it) Dry as a bone, Kitty; dry as a mummy, my love, or as Miss Packerton's new novel.

Kitty. Don't compare my hair to that wretched book, sir.

Sam. Hard lines on you certainly, for your hair is all from your own head, and her book, is the greater part of it, from other people's. Your hair is perfectly original, whereas her novel is a kind of literary chignon, stolen from the dead, worked up into an unnatural shape, and supported by puffs. But still they're alike in both being perfectly dry; so off with your hat, and, Venus having risen from the sea, let's have some breakfast.

Kitty. (taking off her hat before glass) I've had the grandest bathe. Did you see me swim, Sam

Sam. (opening newspaper) Not to my knowledge, Kitty.

Kitty. You didn't! Why, I thought you were watching me.

Sam. So I was.

Kitty. And you didn't sec me swim! Why, I swam ten strokes.

Sam. With how many feet on the ground Come, honor bright, now.

Kitty. (defiantly) Why not - not - (coaxingly) - not more than one, Sam.

Sam. Ah! I thought so. Women were "deceivers ever, one foot in sea, and one on shore, to one thing -" Well, I never! (starting, and staring at newspaper)

Kitty. What, Sam What is it
