Reginald Bunthorne [coming briskly forward, L.C.]:
"Come, walk up, and purchase with avidity,
Overcome your diffidence and natural timidity,
Tickets for the raffle should be purchased with avidity,
Put in half a guinea and a husband you may gain--
Such a judge of blue-and-white and other kinds of pottery--
From early Oriental down to modern terra-cottary--
Put in half a guinea -- you may draw him in a lottery--
Such an opportunity may not occur again."
--W S Gilbert, in Patience, Finale, Act I

L.C. Left center?
You got it.
Patience was actually my first G&S. My parents has a record album of it, back in the 1940s: ten 78-rpm records, both sides, in a stack so that side 20 was on the back of Side 1, 19/2, 18/3, etc, and when all the first sides had been dropped to the turntable in order and played, you just flipped over the whole stack and played the other sides. I never had the opportunity to perform it, though.
