A PORTRAIT OF ONE
HARRY PHELAN GIBB
Some one in knowing everything is knowing that some one is something.
Some one is something and is succeeding is succeeding in hoping that
thing. He is suffering.
He is succeeding in hoping and he is succeeding in saying that that is
something. He is suffering, he is suffering and succeeding in hoping
that in succeeding in saying that he is succeeding in hoping is
something.
He is suffering, he is hoping, he is succeeding in saying that anything
is something. He is suffering, he is hoping, he is succeeding in saying
that something is something. He is hoping that he is succeeding in
hoping that something is something. He is hoping that he is succeeding
in saying that he is succeeding in hoping that something is something.
He is hoping that he is succeeding in saying that something is
something.

LADIES' VOICES
CURTAIN RAISER
Ladies' voices give pleasure.
The acting two is easily lead. Leading is not in winter. Here the winter
is sunny.
Does that surprise you.
Ladies voices together and then she came in.
Very well good night.
Very well good night.
(Mrs. Cardillac.)
That's silver.
You mean the sound.
Yes the sound.
ACT II.
Honest to God Miss Williams I don't mean to say that I was older.
But you were.
Yes I was. I do not excuse myself. I feel that there is no reason for
passing an archduke.
You like the word.
You know very well that they all call it their house.
As Christ was to Lazarus so was the founder of the hill to Mahon.
You really mean it.
I do.
ACT III.
Yes Genevieve does not know it. What. That we are seeing Caesar.
Caesar kisses.
Kisses today.
Caesar kisses every day.
Genevieve does not know that it is only in this country that she could
speak as she does.
She does speak very well doesn't she. She told them that there was not
the slightest intention on the part of her countrymen to eat the fish
that was not caught in their country.
In this she was mistaken.
ACT IV.
What are ladies voices.
Do you mean to believe me.
Have you caught the sun.
Dear me have you caught the sun.
Scene II.
Did you say they were different. I said it made no difference.
Where does it. Yes.
Mr. Richard Sutherland. This is a name I know.
Yes.
The Hotel Victoria.
Many words spoken to me have seemed English.
Yes we do hear one another and yet what are called voices the best
decision in telling of balls.
Masked balls.
Yes masked balls.
Poor Augustine.
WHAT HAPPENED
A FIVE ACT PLAY
ACT ONE
(One.)
Loud and no cataract. Not any nuisance is depressing.
(Five.)
A single sum four and five together and one, not any sun a clear signal
and an exchange.
