417 psl. - Yes, sir; I was very low in the theatre, as an actor, when the surly fellow was the despot of the place. But, sir, I had— had a lift, sir. Yes, I was to play— the— the — the boy with the red breeches — you know who I mean, sir — he whose mother is always going to law — you know who I mean.
