My Chimneypot, farewell!




THE 1713 AGAINST NEWNHAM

[This Fragment will be found to contain, in a concentrated form, all
the constituent parts of Greek Tragedy. It has an Anagnorisis, because
its subject is the Recognition of Women. It also contains _at least
one_ Peripeteia: and the action has been strictly confined, chiefly by
the Editor of the _Magazine_, within one revolution of the sun.]

SCENE: _Interior of a Ladies' College_

LEADER OF THE CHORUS OF LADIES

Sisters, from far upon my senses steals
A sound of crackers and of Catherine wheels,
By which I know the Senate in debate
Decides our future and the country's fate:
And lo! a herald from the city's stir
I see arrive--the usual Messenger.

_Enter a Messenger_

_M._ O maiden guardians of this sacred shrine--

_Ch._ Observe the rules: you've had your single line.
