Dead for a Spell (2014)
“Not that this was anything new. I frequently spent uncounted time after a performance checking props, making notes for discussion with Mr. Stoker the next morning, and even helping Sam Green repair and paint a piece of scenery that had been damaged during the play. But tonight was different. As I struggled into a clean shirt and impaled a stiff white collar onto the back stud, I almost salivated thinking of the rich steaks that would be served at the Beefsteak dinner. I did not have a lot of ti...me. Both Mr. Stoker and the Guv’nor had the luxury of changing into their blue coats and buff waistcoats in Mr. Irving’s dressing room. I had to rush back to my rooms on Chancery Lane, to make myself presentable.
I did not actually own evening dress. It was expensive, and in my case, it was seldom that it was called for. So, as on previous occasions, I had “borrowed” the appropriate attire from the theatre’s wardrobe department. The majority of costumes there were Shakespearean, since that was Mr.MoreLess
