Dr Heidegger
Texte du Storyboard
- Dr. Heidegger, once invitedfour venerable friends to meet him in his study. There were three white-bearded gentlemen,Mr. Medbourne, Colonel Killigrew, and Mr. Gascoigne, and a withered gentlewoman, whose namewas the Widow Wycherly.
- Mr. Medbourne,in the vigor of his age, had been a prosperous merchant, but had lost his all by a frantic speculation,and was now little better than a mendicant.
- Colonel Killigrew had wasted his best years, and hishealth and substance, in the pursuit of sinful pleasures, which had given birth to a brood of pains,such as the gout, and divers other torments of soul and body.
- Mr. Gascoigne was a ruined politician,a man of evil fame, or at least had been so till time had buried him from the knowledge of the presentgeneration, and made him obscure instead of infamous.
- As for the Widow Wycherly, tradition tellsus that she was a great beauty in her day; but, for a long while past, she had lived in deep seclusion,on account of certain scandalous stories which had prejudiced the gentry of the town against her.
- Mr. Medbourne, Colonel Killigrew,and Mr. Gascoigne, were early lovers of the Widow Wycherly, and had once been on the point ofcutting each other’s throats for her sake.
- I love her more!!!
