Kipling - Poems
) Why did you keep me waiting so long?
Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
(AN INTERVAL OF THREE WEEKS. )
GILDED YOUTH. (Sitting on railings opposite Town Hall. ) Hullo, Gadsby!
'Been trotting out the Gorgonzola! We all thought it was the Gorgon
you're mashing.
Capt. G. (With withering emphasis. ) You young cub! What the--does it
matter to you?
Proceeds to read GILDED YOUTH a lecture on discretion and deportment,
which crumbles latter like a Chinese Lantern. Departs fuming.
(FURTHER INTERVAL OF FIVE WEEKS. ) SCENE. Exterior of New Simla Library
on a foggy evening. Miss THREEGAN and Miss DEERCOURT meet among the
'rickshaws. Miss T. is carrying a bundle of books under her left arm.
Miss D. (Level intonation. ) Well?
Miss T. (Ascending intonation. ) Well?
Miss D. (Capturing her friend's left arm, taking away all the books,
placing books in 'rickshaw, returning to arm, securing hand by third
finger and investigating. ) Well! You bad girl!
Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
