THE LUCKY MAN

a play by Frank J. Morlock translated and adapted from the French of Michel Baron

CHARACTERS: Cadwell Bendish Laura Olivia Arabella Selina Worthy Slice Mr. Martin Jenny Little Gentleman Three lackeys or pages

The time, 1687. The place, a large room in Laura's mansion.

Olivia: Yes, brother, your plan to marry Laura will not work unless someone opens her eyes about Cadwell.

Jenny: She loves him--you are not unaware of that. Laura is a widow, and I am certain that if she isn't brought to reason, and very quickly she won't delay marrying Cadwell. Count on what I tell you, I've been with her for several years and I know her.

Olivia: Aside from your little love interest what would her uncle Victor think if he found she were married without being forewarned? Wouldn't he have a right to complain of us after having taken care to lodge her with us so we could watch her conduct and report to him?

Worthy: I see all this as you see it, but my love makes me say more than I should. I'm afraid of displeasing Laura and besides--

Jenny: And while we debate these matters Cadwell perhaps will marry Laura.

Worthy: What must I do then?

Olivia: Fulfill your promise to Victor to warn him of all that is happening. Tell him of your passion for his niece. Omit nothing that might serve to render you happy.
