The New Word TITLE OF SOURCE: AUTHOR'S NAME - FIRST: LAST: DESCRIPTION: Visual Text ROGER. 'I know I look a bally ass. That is why I was such a time in coming down.'<br><br>MR. TORRANCE. 'We thought we heard you upstairs strutting about.'<br><br>MRS. TORRANCE. 'John! Don't mind him, Rogie.'<br><br>ROGER, haughtily, 'I don't.'<br><br>MR. TORRANCE. 'Oh!'<br><br>ROGER. 'But I wasn't strutting.'<br><br>MRS. TORRANCE. 'That dreadful sword! No, I would prefer you not to draw it, dear--not till necessity makes you.'<br><br>MR. TORRANCE. 'Come, come, Ellen; that's rather hard lines on the boy. If he isn't to draw it here, where is he to draw it?'<br><br>EMMA, with pride, 'At the Front, father.'<br><br>MR. TORRANCE. 'I thought they left them at home nowadays, Roger?'<br><br>ROGER. 'Yes, mater; you see, they are a bit in the way.'<br><br>MRS. TORRANCE, foolishly, 'Not when you have got used to them.'<br><br>MR. TORRANCE. 'That isn't what Roger means.' (His son glares.)<br><br>EMMA, who, though she has not formerly thought much of Roger, is now proud to trot by his side and will henceforth count the salutes, 'I know what he means. If you carry a sword the snipers know you are an officer, and they try to pick you off.'<br><br> COMMENTS: Visual Text CANDIDATE FOR ADAPTATION?: --- not set --- Not reviewed Promising Unlikely SOURCE MATERIAL: Fable Novella Play Plot summary Short Story -- Parent -- GENRE: Comedy Comic Horror Detective Drama Fable Fairy Tale Fantasy Folklore Folktale Ghost Story Melodrama Mystery Myth Operetta Other Romance Suspense Young Audiences -- Parent -- SETTING: Africa America England Europe Fantasy International New Zealand Pastoral Rural Rustic Science Fiction -- Parent -- LENGTH FOR ADAPTATION: 10 Minutes 15 Minutes 30 Minutes 45 Minutes 60 Minutes 90 Minutes Two Hours -- Parent -- URL FOR PDF DOCUMENT: TheNewWord.pdf
