Tom Cobb; or Fortune's Toy

Tom Cobb: "Why, there's a squalid old pauper idiot, a patient of his, who's got no name of his own, and Whipple [Doctor] christened him "Tom Cobb", because he says he's the ugliest old lunatic he ever saw and reminds him of me. And all the boys in the neighborhood have taken it up, and he's been known as Tom Cobb for the last two years. That's pleasant of Whipple.... One Tom Cobb's enough at a time!" What happens to young Tom if the old Tom dies and all young Tom's bills are now erased since he be dead. But isn't. And if potential heirs of the young Tom decide to submit the young Tom's will in their favor instead of the old Tom's? Comedy done well. - Summary by ToddHW Cast list: Colonel O'Fipp, an Irish Adventurer:Aiken [https://librivox.org/reader/10737] Tom Cobb, Young Surgeon:Dalerobbins [https://librivox.org/reader/15521] Whipple, Young Surgeon:Adrian Stephens [https://librivox.org/reader/13577] Matilda O'Fipp, the Colonel's Daughter:HelenaDiamandiz [https://librivox.org/reader/15433] Mr. Effingham, member of a romantic family:ToddHW [https://librivox.org/reader/6754] Mrs. Effingham, member of a romantic family:WendyKatzHiller [https://librivox.org/reader/15373] Bulstrode Effingham, member of a romantic family: Alan Mapstone [https://librivox.org/reader/7170] Caroline Effingham, member of a romantic family:Annie Mars [https://librivox.org/reader/15380] Biddy:ashleighjane [https://librivox.org/reader/5468] Footman:Andrew Gaunce [https://librivox.org/reader/14540] Stage Directions:awonski [https://librivox.org/reader/15490] Editing:ToddHW [https://librivox.org/reader/6754]
