A "spicy" (-ish) Tuesday Twopenny Terrible minisode IN WHICH —
0:01:50: HIGHWAYMAN DICK TURPIN, Ch. 20, IN WHICH —:
- Dick gets taken fairly roughly into custody by the officers, and the purple-faced one is especially happy to have him. If only he (the officer) could figure out how to weasel out of sharing the £1000 reward with the farmer who ratted Dick out … and also, there’s the pesky fact that he’s promised £5 to everyone at the bar to help him arrest Dick, and he’d rather not pay them either. ... Here's an idea! Give them all IOU’s to redeem at the Secretary of State’s office! Great, let’s see how that works …
0:19:29: TWO SALACIOUS SALOON SONGS:
- "Poor Little Caleb the Small," a bawdy supper-club song from the 1830s, of the type sung lustily by, um, gentlemen when there were no ladies about. This one tells the story of the woes of a fellow named Caleb, and the trick a prostitute played on him after he propositioned her ...
- "Confessions of a Chamber-pot," which tries more for funny than sexy. Really, it is pretty funny.
