PUNCH,

OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI.

VOL. 99.



August 23, 1890.





NOVELTY UP TO DATE.

[Illustration]

The originality of the plot of _The English Rose_ (the new play at
the Adelphi) having been questioned, the following Scotch Drama is
published with a view of ascertaining if it has been done before.
Those of our readers who think they recognise either the situations
or any part of the dialogue, will kindly remember that treatment is
everything, and the imputation of plagiarism is the feeblest of all
charges. The piece is called _Telmah_, and is written in Three Acts,
sufficiently concise to be given in full:--

ACT I.

_The Horse Guards Parade, Elsinore, near Edinburgh._
