    Sydney Grundy

    Sydney Grundy (1848–1914) and Arthur Sullivan (1842–1900) were successful collaborators during the late nineteenth century. Grundy attended Owens College where he studied law before he embarked on his theatrical career. Elsewhere, Sullivan was raised in a musical family where he learned to play multiple instruments at an early age. He would go on to produce H.M.S. Pinafore (1878) and The Pirates of Penzance (1879). Meanwhile, Grundy worked on A Little Change (1872), A Pair of Spectacles (1889) and A Village Priest (1890).

      Scene:—SIR GEORGE CARLYON’S.

      IN HONOUR BOUND.

      Scene.—Room at Sir George Carlyon’s. Fire lit, R.; in front of it, a wide, luxurious lounge with high back; against it, C., a writing table, piled high with briefs, so as to help to obscure the view of the lounge from anybody sitting at the desk; in front of desk a writing chair; a piano, music seat and davenport, L.; doors, R. U. E. and L. 1 E.; window at back with curtains drawn. The room is lighted by a lamp which stands upon the desk, a box of cigars by the side of it.

      Sir George discovered, seated at the desk, reading and under-scoring rapidly an open brief. He is in evening dress.

      Sir G. (folding up brief) Ah, the old story! I need read no more. (lays down the brief and rises) What’s this? (picks up a letter lying on the edge of the desk) Oh—ah!—the letter that came by this morning’s post for Philip. A woman’s writing. How alike they write! The very double of my niece’s hand! (throws down the letter and looks at watch) Eleven o’clock. What has become of Philip?

      Enter Philip Graham, L., evening dress.

      Ah, there you are!

      Philip. Are you at liberty?

      Sir G. Yes, I have done work for to-night. Come in. I am afraid I have neglected you.

      Philip. Not in the least. I stayed upstairs on purpose, knowing you were busy. I have been unpacking.

      (Sir George draws forward chair, C.)

      Sir G. Sit down. You must be tired after your journey.

      (sits on the end of the lounge, facing audience)

      Philip. (sits, C.) I was tired
