The Lighter Side of English Life: A Jobbing Gardener's Daily Delights 🌱🌺 Amidst the hustle and bustle of The Bubblers Medley or a Sketch of the Times, our jobbing gardener toils away, spreading joy with every bloom 🌼. His art, much like the transfer of stock in A Transfer of Stock, requires patience and precision. But unlike the fashionable women in the gardens of the Tuileries, 1799, who were more concerned with their elegant attire, our gardener finds beauty in the earth beneath his hands. And when the going gets tough, he finds solace in the company of his fellow jobbing actors in In Marble Halls. Their lively chatter in the theatre bar is a welcome distraction, as they discuss rates of pay and boast about their latest roles. Our gardener, too, is thrilled to share the news of his well-paid job, submitting his acting claim to the esteemed Sir Henry Irving with a confident smile.
