newcome

Newcome (warmly, and much encouraged by the ladies having taken seats).

Newcome (who has been patiently holding up the greens at the risk of breaking his arms).

Newcome (who has been manfully holding the browns up above his head, permits them to gently descend).

I don't dare really to get either (Newcome's arms fall helpless; he sighs) one of them.

Here lies Colonel Newcome—tender, generous, noble, child-like heart!
