சபாபதி
S. M. | My own idea your honour! | |
|---|---|---|
F. | You are always original Sabapathy. | |
S. M. | Let me introduce to your honour my young friend-Murugesam-come here. This is Mr. Murugesam, student Christian College—my cousin your honour—a very troublesome young boy. | |
F. | Well—He has not given me any trouble. | |
S. M. | He does not give any trouble to anybody at all-He takes a lot of trouble. | |
F. | Oh! I see—Any thing more Sabapathy. I am afraid it is getting late for me. | |
S. M. | Only one more item-That is a dance by Rangamanickam. | |
F. | A dance! I should like to see it so much-Eh! But I thought you said that you were anti-nautch? | |
S. M. | Yes your honour. I am for aunt-nautch but this dance is by a Gentleman-lady, he is a member of the Suguna Vilasa Sabha, your honour. (Rangamanickam dances) | |
F. | Sabapathy I must say that I like the dance very much—I should like to congratulate the young lady-I mean the young gentleman-it is getting late for me Sabapathy I must be going. (rising) | |
S. M. | One minute your honour, last item of the programme, my speech of thanks. | |
F. | Yes, come along please, only please be brief. | |
S. M. | Hullo! (Searching in his pocket) அடே சபாபதி! எங்கேடா அந்த காகிதம்? காலமெ தபால்லே வந்துதே! ஜேபியிலே வைக்கச் சொன்னேனே? | |
ச. | மறந்து பூட்டேம்பா, மேஜை மேல இருக்குதப்பா. இதோ போயி கொண்டாரேன். (runs out.) | |
F. | What is the matter Sabapathy? | |
S. M. | Some thing wrong with my speech! | |
F. | What is the matter with it? | |
S. M. | My servant has left it on my office table instead of putting it in my pocket. |
