Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Newport: A Play in Six Arts
Kate. I declare, Newport is so stupid. It is made up of fops and fossils - old gentlemen with glow-worm noses, which have stood sentinel over many a glass of crusted port and Sherry, and Old ladies full Of pearls and perspiration, and for every wrinkle a ringlet. Lizzie. Newport is breakfast, dinner, and wheels - foot man and butler; everything is a heavy swell except the surf. What shall we light on, girls? (all sing, and waltz as they sing, Oh, clear! What will become of us? Oh, dear! What shall we do? We'll die of the blue vapors, every one of us, Unless we can find us a beau.) The dinners are, so solemn, that I do declare the champagne corks look as though they would like to pop back, and save the sparkle for more merry guests.
