There also lived in Boston a young lady by the name of Claribel Sudds, who was possessed of much money, little wit and an intense desire to go upon the stage. So Claribel went to Dr. Daws and said: ŌĆ£I can neither sing nor dance; I cannot recite verse nor play upon the piano; I am no acrobat nor leaper nor high kicker; yet I wish to go upon the stage. What shall I do?ŌĆØ ŌĆ£Are you willing to pay for such accomplishments?ŌĆØ asked the wise chemist. ŌĆ£Certainly,ŌĆØ answered Claribel, jingling her purse. ŌĆ£Then come to me to-morrow at two oŌĆÖclock,ŌĆØ said he.
