XXXV. B. Beggarfriend to G. Rabbit
PLAINSPEECH, the dramatist, saw how annoyed I was at the drunken insults I have to endure at parties. He took me aside and started by advising me to give up a mode of life that brings a man at last to ignominy. Then he gave me a brief voice-test and said he would take me into his company and so I could make a living. He told me the part I was to have, and said that in the next production I should put on a footmans livery and play a servant. It was rather late in life to change my ways and mode of life, and at first I was reluctant and showed myself a poor pupil. But there was no alternative for me, and so I learnt my rôle, and now after long study and rehearsal I am ready to appear with the rest of the company. I want you to get our friends together and start the applause. Then even if we make an unforeseen slip the youthful wits about town will not get a chance of hooting and hissing, for the sound of your applause will drown their noisy jeers.
