Book excerpt: Excerpt: ...reception room at the White House. MRS. LINCOLN, dressed in a fashion perhaps a little too considered, despairing as she now does of any sartorial grace in her husband, and acutely conscious that she must meet this necessity of office alone, is writing. She rings the bell, and SUSAN, who has taken her promotion more philosophically, comes in. Mrs. Lincoln: Admit any one who calls, Susan. And enquire whether the President will be in to tea. Susan: Mr. Lincoln has just sent word that he will be in. Mrs. Lincoln: Very well. SUSAN is going. Susan. Susan: Yes, ma'am. Mrs. Lincoln: You still say Mr. Lincoln. You should say the President. Susan: Yes, ma'am. But you see, ma'am, it's difficult after calling him Mr. Lincoln for fifteen years. Mrs. Lincoln: But you must remember. Everybody calls him the President now. Susan: No, ma'am. There's a good many people call him Father Abraham now. And there's some that like him even better than that. Only to-day Mr. Coldpenny, at the stores, said, "Well, Susan, and how 's old Abe this morning?" Mrs. Lincoln: I hope you don't encourage them. Susan: Oh, no, ma'am. I always refer to him as Mr. Lincoln. Mrs. Lincoln: Yes, but you must say the President. Susan: I'm afraid I shan't ever learn, ma'am. Mrs. Lincoln: You must try. Susan: Yes, of course, ma'am. Mrs. Lincoln: And bring any visitors up. Susan: Yes, ma'am. There's a lady waiting now. Mrs. Lincoln: Then why didn't you say so? Susan: That's what I was going to, ma'am, when you began to talk about Mr.

Download or read book Our American Cousin written by Tom Taylor and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-06-25 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our American Cousin is a three-act play written by English playwright Tom Taylor. The play opened in London in 1858 but quickly made its way to the U.S. and premiered at Laura Keene’s Theatre in New York City later that year. It remained popular in the U.S. and England for the next several decades. Its most notable claim to fame, however, is that it was the play U.S. President Abraham Lincoln was watching on April 14, 1865 when he was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth, who used his knowledge of the script to shoot Lincoln during a more raucous scene. The play is a classic Victorian farce with a whole range of stereotyped characters, business, and many entrances and exits. The plot features a boorish but honest American cousin who travels to the aristocratic English countryside to claim his inheritance, and then quickly becomes swept up in the family’s affairs. An inevitable rescue of the family’s fortunes and of the various damsels in distress ensues. Our American Cousin was originally written as a farce for an English audience, with the laughs coming mostly at the expense of the naive American character. But after it moved to the U.S. it was eventually recast as a comedy where English caricatures like the pompous Lord Dundreary soon became the primary source of hilarity. This early version, published in 1869, contains fewer of that character’s nonsensical adages, which soon came to be known as “Dundrearyisms,” and for which the play eventually gained much of its popular appeal.
