They are all so unreliable in this respect. It must be most disheartening to the murderers. And then, again, it is something extraordinary, when you come to think of it, what a tremendous amount of killing some of them can stand and still come up smiling in the next act, not a penny the worse for it. THEY ARE ALL SO UNRELIABLE IN THIS RESPECT IT MUST BE MOST DISHEARTENING TO THE MURDERERS AND THEN AGAIN IT IS SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY WHEN YOU COME TO THINK OF IT WHAT A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF KILLING SOME OF THEM CAN STAND AND STILL COME UP SMILING IN THE NEXT ACT NOT A PENNY WORSE FOR IT
goes on giving way to it, and then it grows upon her until she can't help herself, and it becomes a sort of craving with her. This habit of hers is, however, a very trying one for her friends and husbands--it makes things so uncertain. Something ought to be done to break her of it. Her husbands, on hearing that she is dead, go into raptures and rush off and marry other people, and then just as they are starting off on their new honeymoon up she crops again, as fresh as paint. It is really most annoying. For ourselves, were we the husband of a stage adventuress we should never, after what we have seen of the species, feel quite justified in believing her to be dead unless we had killed and buried her ourselves; and even then we should be more easy in our minds if we could arrange to sit on her grave for a week or so afterward. These women are so artful! But it is not only the adventuress who will persist in coming to life again every time she is slaughtered. They all do it on the stage. E TOO LIKE IT AND GOES ON GIVING WAY TO IT AND THEN IT GROWS UPON HER UNTIL SHE CANNOT HELP HERSELF AND IT BECOMES A SORT OF CRAVING WITH HER THIS HABIT OF HERS HOWEVER A VERY TRYING ONE FOR HER FRIENDS AND HUSBANDS IT MAKES THINGS SO UNCERTAIN SOMETHING OUGHT TO BE DONE TO BREAK HER OF IT HER HUSBANDS ON HEARING THAT SHE IS DEAD GO INTO RAPTURES AND RUSH OFF AND MARRY OTHER PEOPLE AND THEN JUST AS THEY ARE STARTING OFF ON THEIR NEW HONEYMOON UP SHE CROPS AGAIN AS FRESH AS PAINT IT REALLY IS MOST ANNOYING FOR OURSELVES WERE WE THE HUSBAND OF THE STAGE ADVENTURESS WE SHOULD NEVER AFTER WHAT WE HAVE SEEN OF THE SPECIES FEEL QUITE SO JUSTIFIED IN BELIEVING HER TO BE DEAD UNLESS WE HAD KILLED HER AND BURIED HER OURSELVES EVEN THEN WE SHOULD BE MORE EASY IN OUR MINDS IF WE COULD ARRANGE TO SIT ON HER GRAVE FOR A WEEK OR SO AFTERWARDS THESE WOMEN ARE SO ARTFUL BUT IT IS NOT ONLY THE ADVENTURESS WHO WILL PERSIST IN COMING TO LIFE AGAIN EVERY TIME SHE IS SLAUGHTERED THEY ALL DO IT ON THE STAGE
