The Solicitor is a rare unspeaking major part in a Savoy opera, representing Mr. Bunthorne the Aesthetic Poet in Patience. Mr. Bunthorne announces that his Solicitor has given him the advice to raffle himself off for marriage, after which the horrified suitors of the young ladies purchasing tickets curse him off the stage. Many directors take advantage of his silence yet presence on stage for a good deal of time for some situational comedy.
