- Depiction: As is well known, pecuniary complications were occasionally attendant evils of carrying on theatrical enterprises. In this case, just as the writ is being served on the manager, a stage trap-door is suddenly let down, and the objectionable visitor is whisked off the scene. The wily lessee is bowing his fallen enemy out of sight with mock respect: "Good Morning, Mr. Catchpole, you'll find more of your tribe when you get to the bottom!"
