TAILIEUCHUNG - The Understudy, And The Vengeance Of The Dead (dodo Press) By Robert Barr

He would have seen King Charles the First seated in friendly converse with none other than Oliver Cromwell. The room in which these two noted people sat had no carpet and but few chairs. A shelf extended along one side of the apartment, and it was covered with mugs containing paint and grease. Brushes were littered about, and a wig lay in a corner. A mirror stood at either end of the shelf, and beside these, flared two gas-jets protected by wire baskets. Hanging from nails driven in the walls were coats, waist-coats, and trousers of more. | The Understudy and The Vengeance of the Dead Robert Barr DODO I WI PRESS The Understudy THE UNDERSTUDY The Monarch in the Arabian story had an ointment which put upon the right eye enabled him to see through the walls of houses. If the Arabian despot had passed along a narrow street leading into a main thoroughfare of London one night just before the clock struck twelve he would have beheld in a dingy back room of a large building a very strange sight. He would have seen King Charles the First seated in friendly converse with none other than Oliver Cromwell. The room in which these two noted people sat had no carpet and but few chairs. A shelf extended along one side of the apartment and it was covered with mugs containing paint and grease. Brushes were littered about and a wig lay in a corner. A mirror stood at either end of the shelf and beside these flared two gas-jets protected by wire baskets. Hanging from nails driven in the walls were coats waist-coats and trousers of more modern cut than the costumes worn by the two men. King Charles with his pointed beard and his ruffles of lace leaned picturesquely back in his chair which rested against the wall. He was smoking a very black brier-root pipe and perhaps his Majesty enjoyed the weed all the more that there was just above his head tacked to the wall a large placard containing the words No smoking allowed in this room or in any other part of the theatre. Cromwell in more sober garments had an even jauntier attitude than the King for he sat astride the chair with his chin resting on the back of it smoking a cigarette in a meerschaum holder.
