சபாபதி

S. M.
Yes, your honour one great advantage is that here is no difference at all. No Hindu, no mussalman, no judge, no vakil, no Superior, no inferior—all are men.
F.
Sabapathy, it is very late for me. I must be going.
S. M.
Thank your honour very much, for your being present this evening.
F.
Oh! Let me thank you for giving me an opportunity to spend a very pleasant evening; your company always makes me feel younger. But Sabapathy, now that you are entering the Legislative Council, may I as a friend, Offer you a little advice?
S. M.
Yes, your honour.
F.
Then—never read a written speech there—otherwise you would be making some mistakes as you did just now.
S. M.
Thank your honour. I did not make any mistakes at all—All mistakes were made by my friend Adiseshu who wrote this speech for me. Does your honour know Adiseshu?
F.
I am afraid, no.
S. M.
He is the gentlemen in Madras who writes speeches for several members of the Legislative Council.
F.
I see—still I wish you would follow my advice.
S. M.
Yes your honour, on second thought, I think your honour is right. I will do so your honour. I will also tell my friends of the Legistative Council to follow your honour’s advice.
F.
Well—That is right.—Good night, Sabapathy, thank you for a very pleasant evening.
S. M.
Good night to your honour!

(Curtain)
