One character in this work manages to foil Clarenc
One character in this work manages to foil Clarence Poltwhistle's plot to steal his inheritance, and has Richard Cholmondeley offer a reward of a hundred crowns for helping him do so. In this work's second  act, the sound of an arquebus fired from the wharf leads to an argument about whether a dead man  sank like a stone or like a lump of lead, but that man's death is merely a "tale of cock and bul ". The overture to this work is unusual for being in sonata form, and incorporates excerpts from a song about  "when our gal ant Norman foes made our merry land their own" as wel as "Were I thy bride". That song is sung to Wilfred Shadbolt, who ends up winning the hand – but not the heart – of Phoebe Meryl . This  work ends with Jack Point fal ing at the feet of Elsie Maynard, with whom he earlier performed "I have a song to sing, O". For 10 points, name this Gilbert and Sul ivan operetta with a chorus of Tower Warders.
