With a view to obviate the great difficulty experienced by Amateurs (par- ticularly in country houses) in obtaining Scenery, Ac, to fix in a Drawing Room, and then only by considerable outlay for hire and great damage caused to walls, we have decided to keep a series of Coloured Scenes Mounted on Canvas with roller, or they can be had unmounted on thirty sheets of strong pape* and can be joined together or pasted on canvas or wood, according to require ment. Full directions, with diagrams shewing exact size of Back Scenes, Borders, and Wings, can be had free on application. The following scenes are kept in stock. Kept in two sizes. The size of the back scene of the smaller one is nearly 10 feet long and 6 J feet high, and extends with the Wings and Border to 15 feet long and 8 feet high. The back scene of the large one is 13 feet long and 9 feet high and extends with the Wings and Border to 20 feet long and llj ieet high. It is not necessary to have the scene the height of the room, as blue paper to represent sky is usually hung at the top. £ s. d.

Rupert Porter, a very slender, youthful, fashionable gallant.

Sally, a pert young waiting woman. Period. — George I. The costumes and wigs used in " Mistress Run- away " may be hired or purchased very reasonably from Messrs. C. H.

At the beginning of the scene Clarissa and Sally wear long travelling cloaks and hoods, which are after- wards removed. {Enter Clarissa and Sally cloaked. Clarissa goes quickly and sits on settle, pulls out handkerchief , and pats her eyes.) Sally. Now, now, mistress, crying again ! La ! What's the use ? 'Twill but spoil your eyes. We've put thirty good miles 'twixt us and madame, and I dare swear she's not found we've flown yet ! Clarissa (sighs). Oh ! but if she has ! Think of her rage, Sally ! She has the swiftest horses in the county, and — and — oh ! well, Sally, you know what she would say if she caught us ! Sally (grimaces). That I do, mistress ! Why, two days ago she boxed my ears for just giving Tom the ostler a decent word or two ! But she'll rue it ! 8 MISTRESS RUNAWAY. (Tosses her head.) I'd have thought twice about aiding you to run away if she'd kept civil. As if a pretty maid could simmer up every time she was looked on by a man ! If she did, she'd be like our cook-maid's kettle, never off the boil ! Clarissa (impatiently). Oh! be quiet, Sally! Tell me what I'm to do ! Sally. Do ? Why, you must just wait here till the horses are rested before you can go on again. Tis not for long ;. in an hour at most we shall be on the road. Clarissa (horrified). An hour ? Oh! sl thousand aunts might arrive in an hour! (To herself.) How I came to find enough resolution to run away I don't know! (Simpering a little.) It shows how desperate I am ! But I daren't stay at home any longer ! (To Sally.) I know now what old Colonel Porter meant, when he told my aunt she reminded him of the old Duchess of Marlborough. He fought at Blenheim, you know, Sally, and he knew the Duke quite well — and I suppose the Duchess too ! Sally. And she was like your aunt ! Lor ! Mistress Clarissa, I always thought he was tougher than most ! If he could live through a battle and a Duchess like your aunt and your aunt, and look as well as he does to-day — well, I shouldn't think he'd ever run a chance of dying ! Clarissa (sighing). Ou — ou-— ouff ! What a wretched coward I am! Just feel how my heart beats ! (Lays hand on heart.) Sally (unsympathetically). I expect you're hun- gry, mistress ! If we ate a bit, it might hearten us both up. Clarissa (horrified). Oh, Sally ! How can you talk of eating ! (Tragically.) I shall never eat again ! Hark ! What's that ? (Springs to feet, terrified) Oh ! It's a horse ! It's a horse, Sally ! (Mistress and maid clutch each other.) Oh ! Sally, it'll be my aunt ! MISTRESS RUNAWAY. a' (Both stand hesitating, then holding each other still, rush to window. Pause.) Clarissa (with relief). Oh— o-oh ! No, it's a man ! Sally (with satisfaction). Ah — a- ah ! And a groom as well ! (Sally turns from window as though to leave the room , but is recalled by Clarissa's exclamation.) Clarissa. Why ! Oh ! It can't be — Sally, come quickly ! Do you see ! Isn't — isn't that the gallant who stared so when I was in London this spring ? When I was choosing of my new sack — you remember? (Both heads go together ; excited whispering, gesture, peering out of window, etc. Clarissa turns from window, and stands looking down stage.) Clarissa (with sudden assumption of dignified indifference) . How — very — strange ! (Enter Rupert Porter, talking to some one without. , Screen prevents his seeing Clarissa and Sally.) Rupert (very crossly). Oh ! do as you like, do as you like ! If the horses can't go on, why ! they can't ! Dinner ? 'Pon my word, man, no ! (Lower.) I feel as if I never wanted to eat again. (Stands c. down stage, talking to himself) Rupert. To be disposed of like a calf and then — ■ asked to have one's dinner ! (Disgustedly.) What's come over the world, I wonder ! (Exit Sally.) (Clarissa moves down and sits on settle back to Rupert, who hearing movement turns to her.) Rupert (very softly). Why ! What is this ? No — yes — it is the same ! It can't be ! It is ! 10 MISTRESS RUNAWAY. (Louder, advancing hat in hand.) Er — er— er, I beg you, pardon me ! I — I had no notion any one was here. Er — I did think of having dinner here — but if you wish me to retire — er — I should quite under- stand. Clarissa (very demurely). Sir, you are vastly kind, but — er — this is a public parlour ! (Short silence ; Clarissa stares pensively at -fire. Rupert stares at Clarissa, drops a glove, fidgets from one foot to the other, finally stands opposite Clarissa with back to fireplace.) Rupert. The — er — the weather's vastly warm and pleasant to-day, isn't it ? Clarissa (sweetly). Y-e-es ! But it rained quite heavily this morning ! Rupert (confused). So it did, I'd forgotten that. (Enter Landlady.) Land. I dare swear you're ready for your dinner, sir ? Rupert (embarrassed). Perhaps the young lady would object ? Clarissa (coldly). Object to your dining ? Oh ! no, sir ! Land, (benevolently). P'raps the young lady'll join you, sir ! Rupert (embarrassed). Oh — er — I hardly, I Clarissa (modestly to Landlady). If 'twill oblige I have no objections ! Rupert (delighted). A thousand thanks, madam ! Land, (beaming). Now I take that very kindly, missy — mistress, I should say ! I'm a bit short- handed just now, and 'twill suit me better to set one table than two ! (Goes to side table, takes cloth from drawer, shakes it open.) And you both be the gainers. MISTRESS RUNAWAY. 11 You won't neither of you feel so blushy-like while you're eating. (Clarissa and Rupert look horrified. Rupert flings down his whip with a great clatter.) Land. Dear life, sir ! You might have broken it ! Let me ! {Comes and takes whip and lays it on side table.) Land. As I was saying, when one is eating, two had better ! (Spreads cloth on table c. Continues to go to and from side table, fetching spoons, etc.) It breaks the ice in a manner of speaking, and, as I see the young gentleman knows, a man as is eating under any one's eyes gets a bit nervous, and then 'e gets a bit sloppy, and don't rightly know where 'e is putting his food, whether it's on 'is waistcoat or whether it's in his stom (Rupert raises his heel, and kicks over stand with poker, etc. Clarissa lifts hands to ears.) Land, (jumps). Dear life, sir ! That's the second thing you've sent to the ground ! (Advances to fire- place, takes poker, etc., and places them on floor some distance away) Rupert (rather low). You'll forgive me, won't you, madam ? Clarissa (emphatically). Oh ! sir, I thank you ! Land, (returns to Rupert, and takes his hat and gloves). Best let me take these, sir! (Soothingly.) They'll be safer over here, sir, you being, if you'll pardon me, given to dropping things ! (Lays hat, etc., on chair near door. Opens door and takes in plates, dishes, etc. Places on table, and sets chairs to it.) Clarissa (rises). Rupert (aloud). Permit me, madam. (Hands Clarissa to table. They seat themselves.) Rupert (to Landlady) . Thanks, my good woman, 12 MISTRESS RUNAWAY. we will manage for ourselves ! Doubtless if you are short-handed 'twill be something easier for you ! Land. Thank you kindly, sir ! But 'tis no ill- convenience, only a pleasure ! Clarissa {shakes her head). Ugh ! (To Land- lady.) But we would really rather — I mean, it must be very troublesome (To Rupert.) Do you not agree, sir ? Rupert (with alacrity). Oh, most certainly ! (To Landlady.) I beg of you to retire. Land, (huffily). I have waited here on and off (Stops and stares from Clarissa to Rupert.) Well ! to be sure ! Of course I will ! Now, why didn't I think of it before ! (Smiles broadly.) Dear, dear ! To think I should have forgot how I felt in my youth ! Dear, yes ! I was never one to want a third party when I was court (Clarissa and Rupert bend over their plates, and make a great clatter with their knives and forks, drown end of Landlady's speech. Exit Landlady, smiling and shaking head.) (Pause.) Rupert. Er — er — it's been vastly warm and pleasant to-day, hasn't it ? Clarissa. Ye-e-es ! Only it did rain greatly this morning, didn't it ? Rupert. Now you mention it, I — think it did. (Both eat steadily, and seem to have hearty appetites. Presently Clarissa pushes away plate, and leans back in chair.) Rupert (solicitously) . Surely you have not finished ? Clarissa (sighs deeply). Oh ! sir, when the mind is troubled the body needs but little sustenance ! (Rupert puts down fork and pushes away plate.) Rupert (gloomily). Too true, madam ! Clarissa. Surely, sir, you have not finished ? MISTRESS RUNAWAY. 13 Rupert. Madam, I am like you, I can touch nothing ! (Both sigh deeply.) Rupert (leaning forward across table). Mistress, you are too fair to bear trouble alone ! (Softly.) Will you not confide in me ? Can I not help you ! Clarissa (with heroic firmness, staring straight in front of her). Sir, no man can help me ! (Dabs eyes with handkerchief.) I — I am the victim of an un- loving relative ! A — a relative who under the guise of wishing me well, would rid herself of me ! I — I could bear it no longer, so (very plaintively) I have run away ! Rupert (startled). Heavens ! Madam, what mean you ? Your relative would rid herself of you ! She — she has not tried to — to murder you ? Clarissa (startled). Oh! No, sir! (Dismally.) But she has tried to marry me ! Rupert (starts to his feet). How very strange ! Clarissa (coldly). Sir ! Rupert (excitedly). Why, mistress, 'tis just my case ! I, too, have a relative who from motives of avarice would force me into marriage ! Clarissa. Why, 'tis too extraordinary ! But perhaps the lady pleases you ? Rupert. How can she please me ? I have never seen her, never heard of her ; do not even know her exact age ! At least, I mean I knew nothing of her when I was ordered to (bitterly) put myself up for sale before this heiress like a calf ! Since then, however, I have made inquiries ! (Nods sagely.) Clarissa (breathlessly). Ah ! Tis just what I did ! 'Tis a town gallant they would wed me with, so I wrote and begged a friend to tell me truly what like he is ! Do you think it was right ? Rupert (leans on table). The wisest thing in the world, mistress ; why, I did it myself ! Well ! I 14 MISTRESS RUNAWAY. was nearly worn into a fever with expectancy, and then {dismally) the answer came ! Clarissa (dismally). So did mine ! Rupert. I have the letter with me now. Ah ! madam, may I read it to you ? You who — who are so sweet and a — a model to your sex, will be able to tell me if I did right to instantly refuse ! Clarissa (blushing). Nay, sir, if I aid you, you must in turn give me your advice ! Rupert. Tis a bargain ! (Both produce letters.) Rupert (reading). " — your absurd " h'm ! where is it ? Oh ! " — very much amused " bah ! H'm ! oh ! here it is ! " Well, yes, I have both seen and spoken with the young lady, and to be quite candid, dear boy, I wouldn't have her even with the gilding ! " Clarissa. Oh ! What a brutal way of putting it ! Rupert (apologetically). He is something of an ass, but, poor fellow, he spends half the year plough- ing and hunting ! (Reads.) " When I last saw her, she was a raw-boned, under-sized filly " I, I beg your pardon ! He — he means she was rather — thin, you know — " But 'tis a year since I saw her, and they may have fed her up since then " (Timidly.) I — I am afraid he must be always in the stables. (Reads.) " For the rest, I judged her free from vice, the sort of creature my wife calls ' bread and buttery ' ! " (Lays down letter.) Now tell me, am I not right to refuse ? Clarissa (emphatically). I'm sure you are ! I never heard such a dreadful description ! Now, will you advise me? (Opens letter and reads.) " As to the matter you speak of, I will try and get a white lace " Oh ! oh ! that's not it ! Ah ! here it is ! (Reads.) "If you really wish to know if I ap- prove of rouge " Oh ! oh ! That's not it ! Ah ! (Reads). " — know him quite well, and personally MISTRESS RUNAWAY. 15 I wouldn't have him a gift ! He is vain and empty- headed ; clumsy on his feet, and rather loutish with but an overlay of modish manners, and with no trait of manliness about him. Not at all suitable to my sweet Clarissa, whom I feel sure he wouldn't have the courage to protect from a mouse ! " It doesn't sound pleasing, does it ? Rupert. Indeed, it doesn't ! Take my advice, and have nothing to say to him ! Clarissa (sighing). I won't ! Isn't it strange we should both have the same trouble ? Rupert (tenderly). Fate must have meant us to be comrades ! Madam, I have not been quite open with you. If this heiress (taps letter) had been Venus herself she could never have won my heart ! (Lowers voice.) For it went from me last spring into the keeping of a maid whose name I do not even know ! Clarissa (half turns away). I — I — oh ! it's very odd we should be both alike ! (Emphatically.) Oh ! I will never obey my aunt ! Rupert (energetically). Nor I my uncle ! I will go straight to him and say (rises, strikes attitude of defiance), u Uncle Porter ! " (Clarissa starts vio- lently.) " I'll none of your plans ! Keep your money, or marry this Tollemache creature yourself if you will ! " (Clarissa rises very slowly to her feet, turns to face Rupert with a furious expression.) Clarissa (icily). And I, sir, I will go to my aunt and say : " Aunt Tollemache, if there must be marry- ing, go and marry this Porter monster yourself ! " (Rupert staggers back aghast.) Clarissa (furiously). How dare you ! Oh ! how dare you ! Coward ! Mean coward ! Writing to your low friends and playing at pitch and toss with my name ! (Stamps.) Oh ! I could kill you ! (Makes close up to him, and draws herself up.) Look at me ! Am I undersized ! (Flings wide her arms.) 16 MISTRESS RUNAWAY. Am I raw-boned ? Am I — am I (her voice ascends) bread and buttery ! Oh-o-o-o-oh ! (Turns away from him.) I who am the toast of the county to be so insulted — to dare to write of me ! (Rupert throughout her speech has attempted to pacify her with questions.) Rupert (hardly). Well, mistress, well ! (Louder.) You wrote about me ! (More angrily, but looking sideways at Clarissa.) Am I empty-headed ? Am I not modish ? Am I vain and loutish ? (Stands over her threateningly.) Am I not worth a gift ? Oh-o-o-o-oh ! (During Rupert's speech the door opens, and the Landlady and Sally are seen peering round.door. Landlady takes a step forward to interpose anxi- ously when Sally seizes her arm, saying : " Come out ! " and leads her from the room.) Clarissa (very angrily). It was unpardonable ! Rupert (very angrily). Undoubtedly it was! Clarissa (with dignity). Sir, I pray you not to add mockery to your offence ! Rupert. I pray you, madam, not to attempt to justify your conduct. Clarissa (furiously). Justify my conduct ! Why, 'tis for you to Rupert (interrupting). No ! 'tis for you to Clarissa (interrupting). I vow 'tis you to Rupert (interrupting). I vow 'tis not Clarissa^ and \ (both stamping angrily). O-o-o-oh-oh ! Rupert j (Rupert walks to window. Clarissa walks to fireplace.) Clarissa (wipes eyes). To think that you should be the man I fled from ! Rupert (gloomily). To think that you should be MISTRESS RUNAWAY. 17 the lady I refused. (Comes down stage and collects hat, gloves, and whip.) (Sadly.) 'Twas only last spring Clarissa (sobs). Yes ! 'Twas only last spr-i-ing — Rupert (gloomily). When you were buying a new sack Clarissa (wipes eyes). And you were buying ribbons for your cane Rupert (despairingly). That I should ha' wished myself the garment you were buying that I might be always near you ! (In his emotion drops hat, gloves, etc.) Clarissa (pitifully). It — it — it never fitted! Rupert (picking up letter from table). To have my happiness destroyed by this ! Clarissa (sharply). By a lie ! Rupert (stands confounded staring at letter, then turns to Clarissa). True, madam ! By a lie ! Why — 'tis only truth need stand 'twixt honest folk ! (Tears up letter, and throws on fire.) There ! 'tis gone ! (Tenderly.) Can you not do the same ? Clarissa (softly). With all my heart ! Rupert (joyfully). Then — then we can begin again with nothing but our love between us ! (Takes Clarissa in his arms.) (Door opens, Landlady and Sally look in. Seeing nothing, advance to screen and peer round to fireplace. Sally, on seeing Clarissa in Rupert's arms, ad- vances smiling. Landlady seizes her arm, and saying firmly, " Come out," leads her from the room.) Clarissa (sits on settle). 'Tis a strange world ! To think I should have run away from you only Rupert. Only to run into my arms ! (Kneels beside her.) Ah ! is it not a wonderful world ? Clarissa (nodding). I can't think why people are unhappy in it ! It is such a dear place ! Rupert. So fair. 18 MISTRESS RUNAWAY. Clarissa. So hopeful ! (Lets hand fall to side Rupert kisses it.) Rupert. So full of beauty ! Clarissa. So free from fear and (Door flung open, and breathless.

We shall give them a pleasant surprise ! (To Landlady.) Bring them here, I pray you ! (The Landlady and Sally bustle out.) Rupert (takes Clarissa by both hands).
