Answers
Answer:
Isabella Augusta Persse, better known as Lady Gregory, wrote the play The Rising of the Moon in the early 1900s. It is a comedic tale of police officers and an escaped prisoner they are trying to find, and it explores some of the dynamics between English and Irish people as well as prisoners and their captors.
In the story, a prisoner has escaped from jail and is on the loose. Three men, a sergeant and two junior assistants, are distributing flyers trying to aid in his capture, offering a sum of one hundred pounds, which, at the time was an incredible amount. After passing out flyers, the men separate and the sergeant decides to sit and wait out on a quay to see if the prisoner can be captured. While he rests there, he thinks about the wealth one would have if they received the hundred pounds, and a man comes up to him.
The man acts as an entertaining ballad singer, but in reality, he is the fugitive prisoner. He claims to know the convict and offers to help the sergeant, who agrees, because the man says he wants no part in the reward and would let the sergeant take all of it. While the two man wait, they discuss their lives and muse on why the sergeant took the path in life he did instead of turning to nationalism and becoming a patriot, making him question his life choices and ingratiating the fugitive to him somewhat.
As they are sitting and the fugitive is singing, a passing ship responds to one of his songs, revealing that they are his escape plan. The sergeant learns that he has been tricked and is furious but given pause because of their conversation. He decides in the end to allow the prisoner to leave and get to the ship, because of their connection and the conversations they have been having.
