Act I - 08 Act II - 42 Act III - 118 Act IV - 167 Act V - 191 THE GENTLEMAN (returning to his former place on the note taker’s left) How do you do it, if I may ask? THE NOTE TAKER Simply phonetics. The science of speech. Thats my profession: also my hobby. Happy is the man who can make a living by his hobby! You can spot an Irishman or a Yorkshireman by his brogue. I can place any man within six miles. I can place him within two miles in London. Sometimes within two streets. THE FLOWER GIRL Ought to be ashamed of himself, unmanly coward! THE GENTLEMAN But is there a living in that? THE NOTE TAKER Oh yes. Quite a fat one. This is an age of upstarts. Men begin in Kentish Town with L80 a year, and end in Park Lane with a hundred thousand. They want to drop Kentish Town; but they give themselves away every time they open their mouths. Now I can teach them- Act I - 08 Act II - 42 Act III - 118 Act IV - 167 Act V - 191 |
