Big couch. Big armchairs. Table, with a few books. Dick {discovered lounging in chair, apparently read- ing). " In the spring the young man's fancy Lightly turns to thoughts of love." " Lightly " ! Shucks ! I'll bet the chap that wrote that never had to solve the vexed question of how to entertain his best girl for a whole week on next door to nothing. (Drazvs hand fid of small change from his pocket. Counts it.) Gee whiz! Two dollars and thirty-five cents ! Not enough for one evening. Hi, Bob ! Bob (in next room). What? Dick. Come here ! Bob (enters, putting on collar as he comes). What's the row? Dick. How much ready cash have you? Bob (looking at coins that Dick has spread out on table). Well, I'm no such bloated millionaire as you, my son. Ouch ! Plague take this collar button ! There ! (Collar is on.) Behold! (Produces half a dozen coins; lays them beside Dick's money.) Two perfectly good fifty-cent pieces, plus three equally good dimes, one nickel and thr^e beautiful copper medallions of Lincoln. Grand total, one dollar and thirty-eight cents, coin of the re- public. Dick. Two dollars and thirty-five cents plus one 4 WHAT ROSIE TOLD THE TAILOR dollar and thirty-eight cents equals three dollars and seventy-three cents. That won't go far with her. Bob. It certainly won't. Dick. I mean Molly. Bob. And I mean Polly. Dick. Honest, Bob, is that all you have? Bob. Every cent. And you ? Dick. Same here. Bob. And the girls coming this afternoon. Dick. Problem : How to raise fifty dollars within an hour when one's credit is exhausted. Bob. Exhausted ! Shucks ! Mine died of exhaustion ages ago. Got anything left to hock? Dick. Not a thing. Bob. Nor I. Dick. What's to be did? Bob. What the old song said, I guess. " Fear not but trust in Providence." Dick. You are an optimistic soul, Robert, and Provi- dence is a rare provider, but not quite close enough for an emergency call. Em going to try Ole once more. {He rings a hell.) Enter Rosie. RosiE {grinning broadly). Morning, Mistah Mannahs, morning, Mistah Summahs. That's a mighty becomin' new spring suit you got on, Mistah Mannahs. Dick {gravely). Thank you, Rosie. A compliment from a gentleman of your well-known good taste is a compliment indeed. Anybody to see me this niorning? RosiE. Yessir. Mr. Snipper, the tailor, was here. Dick. What did he want ? RosiE {grinning) . He said the suit or the money, sir. Bob. And what interesting yarn did you tell him this time, Rosie? RosiE. Jes' told him Mr. Mannahs got the suit to go to his rich uncle's weddin', and when he came back he'd have money enough to buy all the suits in his shop. Dick. Hooray for you, Rosie ! And did he bite? RosiE. He asked me was it your uncle Mr. Bailey, and WHAT ROSIE TOLD THE TAILOR 5 I says yes, and he was coming here on his honeymoon to see you pitch to-morrow's game. Dick. Ha ! Ha ! Uncle Billy in the role of blushing bridegroom. Some picture, that ! Bob. Rosie, when it comes to real romantic composi-' tion, you have Kipling and Richard Harding Davis backed off the stage, believe me ! Dick. Well, zvhen my rich uncle appears you shall be rewarded. Meantime, go and ask Mr. Percy if he'll come here a moment. On a matter closely affecting to-mor- row's game, tell him. RosiE. Yessir. (Exit. Sticks his head in door again.) Will I tell him to bring his check-book? Bob. Well, you might suggest it. Diplomatically, you know. RosiE. Trust me, sir. [Exit. Bob. Clever kid, that. (Knock; enter Jimmie Jones.) Jim M IE. Two yeller billy-doos for Mr. Manners. Dick. Two ? JiMMiE. Yep. Sign here, please. (Dick .9?^;j.?) Bob. No fair bringing him two and me none, Jimmie. That's showing partiality. Jimmie (grinning). Better see what's in 'em before you shout. Dick (reading one telegram). Heavings! Listen to this. " Caught earlier train. Arrive ten-thirty. Molly.'* Bob. Ten-thirty! (Looks at watch.) Just half an hour away ! Phew ! Dick (opens second message. Reads). Good Lord! And now listen to this. (Reads.) "Shall arrive in Western at lo: 30. Meet me. William Bailey." ^ Bob. Uncle Billy! (Falls limply into armchair.) Dick. Uncle Billy ! (Falls limply into another armchair.) Jimmie. Any answer? Bob (fires sofa pillow at him). No ! Get out of here, you trouble-bringer I b WHAT ROSIE TOLD THE TAILOR (JiLiMiE dodges pillozv and exits.) Dick. Well ! Well ! And Uncle Billy hates girls ! Bob. Well? Dick. This is no w^//. This is the bottomless pit! Enter " Ole." Ole {cheerily). 'Lo, fellows ! Howdy? Rosie fairly dragged me over here. Said it was a matter of life and death. Dick {gloomily). Worsfe than that now, my son. Things have happened since Rosie went away. Ole. Anything I can help in Dick. Yep. Lend me a hundred dollars and kidnap an uncle for me and I'll be your friend for life. Ole. Kidnap an uncle? Sounds exciting. Elucidate. Dick. Aw, that's just a joke. Bob {excitedly). Not a bit of it ! Dick, that's a happy hunch, if ever there was one. See here, Ole. Dick's girl is coming to see the game to-morrow. They've counted on it all year. He's worried to death because he's dead broke and he's afraid he won't be able to show her a good time. Now you know that's going to affect his work to- morrow, and you know how much depends on this game. {Hope fid pause.) Ole. You may bet your bottomest dollar I do. I've got a lot of money on Dick. Bob. So have lots of others. Well, then, you'll see Dick through with a loan, won't you? Ole. Sure, Dick's stood by me lots of times. (Dick leans across table and silently holds out his hand. Ole grasps it.) Bob {slapping him joyfully on back). Ole, you're a jewel. Ole. Granted. But where does the kidnapping act come in? Bob. Well, you see, Dick's Uncle Billy, the old cur- mudgeon WHAT ROSIE TOLD THE TAILOR 7 Dick {Interrupting). Oh, don't slander the old boy. He's all right in his way. Bob. Well, then, Dick's uncle and guardian angel Dick. Angel ? Oh, no, that isn't his way ! Bob. See here, Dick, quit your butting in, and let me finish, will you ? Dick {meekly). I wilt. Proceed. Bob. Well, Ole, Uncle Billy, who hates girls, has taken it into his head to drop in on us to-day. He even arrives on the same train as the girls and Aunt Sally. Ole. Aunt Sally? Bob. Yep. Chaperon, you know. Now, I propose that you run us down to the station in your buzz-wagon. There we'll lie low till the folks are all off the train — there's sure to be a crowd coming in for the game — we point out Uncle Billy. You approach him, tell him Dick has been detained and has asked you to meet him. You get him into the car, take him out somewhere, and lose him. Ole. Sweet plan ! Lose him how ? Bob. Oh, that we'll leave to your own ingenuity. Ole. Thanks. And in the meantime you Bob. We surreptitiously meet the girls and come home. (Dick reaches across the table and fumbles among books.) What do you want? Dick. Dictionary. If we're going to meet the girls that way I want to know how it's done. Ole (rising). Well, gentlemen, anything to oblige the hero of to-morrow's great game. As to the kidnapping of Uncle Billy, having appealed to my ingenuity, I suppose it's up to me. What time do they arrive? Dick. T6n-thirty. (Looks at zvatch.) Why, it's al- most that now. We've got to get a move on. Bob. Ole. I'll have the car round in a jiffy. [Exit. Dick. There goes a prince of good fellows. (Bob ajid Dick tear round looking for hats, canes, etc. A motor horn is heard. Enter Rosie.) RosiE (grandly). The car is at the door, gentlemen. Bob. All right, Rosie. Just tidy up a bit while we're 8 WHAT ROSIE TOLD THE TAILOR gone, will you? We'll be back in a few minutes with three ladies — two of 'em pretty as dreams. RosiE. Yessir. Trust me, sir. (Exit Bob and Dick. RosiE begins to " tidy up." Pitches all sorts of things tmder and behind couch and into table drazvers; surveys room.) Hum! hum! Gotta have a looking-glass fer them two dreams. (Exit. Returns immediately with mirror, which he hangs up.) There! (Picks up guitar, curls up on couch, sings, " This is the life," picking hap- hazard at strings. Knock at door.) Come in! (JiMMiE Jones sticks head in.) JiMMiE. 'Lo, kid. RosiE. 'Lo, yerself. JiMMiE. Your bosses gone to the deepo? RosiE. Yep. JiMMiE (coming in). Let's have a doo-et. (He picks up an instrument, and they play, all out of tune, singing " This is the life." Voices heard out- side. ) RosiE. Gee ! Here they come. Beat it, kiddo. (Door opens. Enter Bob, Dick, Molly and Polly. JiMMiE tries to dodge them. Runs into Molly, who falls over him and comes into room head first.) Molly. Mercy ! Polly. Pleavens ! Dick (picking Molly up). Clumsy cub! What's he doing here anyway ? Are you hurt ? • Molly. No — is my hat on straight ? RosiE (7'uns for mirror. Holds it in front of her). Here y'are, miss. Dick. Hello! Where'd that come from? ^ ' RosiE. You told me to get things ready for the ladies, sir, and I thought I'd better pervide the essentials first. (Dick holds mirror for Molly, who arranges her hair, adjusts her hat, powders her nose and primps gener- WHAT ROSIE TOLD THE TAILOR 9 ally. Polly and Bob wander round the roc... RosiE returns to a corner.) Polly. Oh, isn't this the cutest, darlingest room! (Sees a baseball bat in corner. Runs to it.) Ah— is this what Dick is going to do things with to-morrow ? (Whirls bat over her head, just misses hitting Dick.) Dick (dodging). Ouch! Lookout! Molly. Dick ! Hold that glass still ! How can I see how my back hair looks if you flop around like ^hat? Dick (meekly). Yes'm. (Resumes former position.) Bob (taking bat from Polly). Give me .that murder- ous wepping, and spare Dick's sweet young life until after to-morrow. We need him so badly. Hey ! What's the matter, Rosie? RosiE (who has been opening and shutting the door, looking out and then back into the room). Ain't the other lady comin', sir? Bob. The other lady? Heavens and earth I Auntie! Girls, Dick, where's Aunt Sally? Dick. Why — why Polly. Why, yes. Where is Auntie? Molly (pausing, powder puff in her hand). My good gracious sakes ! I believe we came off and left her at the station ! Bob. I thought she was with you and Dick ! Dick. And I thought she was with you and Polly. Bob. Oh, lor ! Oh, lor I Here's a pretty kettle of fish f Polly. Oh, won't she be mad ! Molly. She'll march us back home this very day, sure's we're born. (Motor horn toots madly outside.) Dick. Ole! Oh, mother o' Mike! Pd forgotten Uncle Billy, too ! Enter Ole, hurriedly. Ole. Did they come here ? Bob and Dick. Who? Ole. Uncle Billy and the lady ? Dick. What! Uncle Billy and the /af/)/.' What 10 WHAT ROSIE TOLD THE TAILOR Oh, excuse me. You must meet these ladies first. Miss Primrose, Miss Martin, — Mr. Perry, otherwise Ole. Polly. Charmed, Pm sure. Molly. DeUghted, I'm sure. Ole (bowing very low). Charmed and delighted, I'm sure. Dick. Now, old man, go on. Uncle Billy and what lady? Ole (sits. on arm of chair; others group around him). Well, I \vatched the old boy as you told me to till I saw you and the girls leave the station, then I started for him. But before I got there, I saw him rush up to a lady of un- certain age and grab both of her hands. I arrived just in time to hear her say ** Billy, oh Billy! " — just like that — and promptly fall upon his neck. Dick {collapses on to couch, weakly). Oh, Uncle Billy, Uncle Billy, who would have thunk it of you ! Ole, I couldn't hear what he said — his back was to- ward me, but his actions — his actions spoke quite loud enough. Polly. Really, Dick, I don't think you can have brought your uncle up at all nicely ! Molly. You ought to see our Aunt Sally! You'd never see her behaving in public like that. Bob. Proceed, Ole. Having neither a giddy uncle nor a perfectly proper aunt, I can make no personal applica- tion of your story. Ole. Well, when the first transports were over, I mod- estly approached and introduced myself. The old chap looked me over for a second ; then he said " 'Scuse me " to the lady, drew me aside and whispered, " Young man, how far is it to the court-house ? " Bob and Dick. The court-house ! Molly. Dick, you never told me your uncle was crazy. Dick. Didn't know it myself till now. Bob. Go on, Ole. Ole. I told him. Then he said, " Well, just drive us round there, then go to my nephew and tell him PU see him very soon." With that, he goes back to the lady. I WHAT ROSIE TOLD THE TAILOR II see 'him argue with her. She gives in, they pile into the car, I take 'em to the court-house, leave 'em there, and hike back here. Car balked a bit, or I'd been here sooner. Dick. Well ! Bob. Well? Molly. Well ! But all this doesn't find Auntie. Polly. No, indeed. Bob, we must go and look for her at once. Come along. Molly. We, too, Dick. {Knock at the door.) Dick. Come in ! Tailor {enters briskly). Good-morning, Mr. Man- ners. Good-morning, sir. Ah ! And good-morning, ladies! Glad to find you at home, Mr. Manners. I was told this morning that you were out of town. Dick {savagely). Pity you couldn't believe what you were told ! What do you want ? Can't you see I'm en- gaged? Tailor {bowing low to the girls). Charmingly en- gaged, sir, very charmingly engaged, if I may be allowed to say so. Dick. What do you want? Get it out of your sys- tem and get out. Tailor {approaching Dick, piits his hand on his arm, draws him a little to one side). What do I want? I want the money, sir, or the suit. {He taps Dick on the chest with his forefinger. ) I guess I can't afford to wait till your rich Uncle Mr. Bailey arrives on his wedding tower ; the money or the suit back, to-day if you please, sir. Dick {desperately). Oh, say. Snippers, have a heart! Here's my best girl come to see me pitch to-morrow, and my uncle is coming, and Tailor {relentlessly). The money or the suit to-day,) Them words is final. {Voices heard outside.) RosiE {throwing door wide open). This way, sir^ 12 WHAT ROSIE TOLD THE TAILOR This way, ma'am. {Annoiiiiciiig yrandly.) Mr. and Mrs. William Bailey ! {The Tailor slips around to the door, eyeing Uncle Billy in amazement. He slips away unnoticed, ex- cept by RosiE, who makes a face at him as he goes, and says " Yah! What did I tell yer? ") Dick. Uncle Billy ! Girls. Aunt Sally ! Bob. What the Ole. Aunt Sally ! Well, for the love of Mike ! Uncle Billy {comes forward, beaming, with Aunt Sally), Dick, my boy, meet my wife, your Aunt Sally. Aunt Sally (beaming). Girls, meet my husband, your Uncle William. (Dick kisses Aunt Sally, girls kiss Uncle Billy.) Ole (to Aunt Sally). I guess I ought to come in on this, too. Aunt Sally (hugging and kissing Ole). You cer- tainly ought! If it hadn't been for you Bob. Oh, but. Aunt Sal — I beg your pardon, I mean Mrs. Bailey, it was my plan — not Ole's. Uncle Billy. Your plan? What do you mean? Dick (hastily). Oh, never mind that now! We've got to know about your little romance. Uncle Billy. Tell us quick, before we burst with curiosity. Uncle Billy. Well, then, hsten, all of you. (They group around him and Aunt Sally.) You see, it was this way. We were engaged twenty years ago, Sally and I — almost married in fact. Then we quarreled — the Lord knows what about — we've both forgotten, but she sent me about my business. And you know that took me to China for a number of years. And we never saw each other again till this afternoon. And when we met so un- expectedly in the station — why, we suddenly remembered that it was the anniversary of the day set for our wedding twenty years ago, and we decided to make up on the spot and be married at once, which we did with the aid of this nice young chap and his car. (Slaps Ole joyfidly on WHAT ROSIE TOLD THE TAILOR I3 the back.) And, now, Dick, my boy, just win that game to-morrow and we'll have one grand celebration, your victory and my wedding. Bob. Why-, that's what Rosie told the tailor this morn- ing ! Say, Rosie, you are some prophet. CURTAIN THE AMERICANA A Comedy Drama in Three Acts for Female Characters By Anita Bradford Eleven females.
