Excerpt from Sergel's Dramatic Dialogues: Selections for Amateur and Parlor Theatricals and School Exhibitions Jacob. Good gracious I thought it was master! Though there's little danger of being troubled with him before nine. O'clock, as he's fast asleep - with one eye open - like all wild beasts. He certainly belongs to that class of animals, and no mistake. He's a brute, a perfect tiger; but that's not very surprising, when we recollect that he was born, bred, and brought up in Bengal; which country I've heard say, produces the finest tigers in the world. What can make him so savage? His love of solitude, perhaps. I declare it's horrid to see a person shunning all mankind in such a way; and when I reflect that I've been here for six months, in this animal's cage - although it certainly is a cage in which one gets some nice pickings, still I m tired of it. 1 am only allowed out once a fortnight, and all the rest of the time cooped up within four walls. Lt's horrible! I won't stand it any longer, l'm resolved I'll give him warning! L'll\ do it, the very first time I catch him in a good humor; al though he is a tiger on two legs, I'm not aft aid of him.
