"'Dear, dear me,' I kept on saying under my breath, 'he is doing it all wrong. A downright unmitigated villain would never go on like that; he would do so and so, he would look like this, and speak like that, and act like the other. I know he would. My instinct tells me so.' DEAR DEAR ME I KEPT ON SAYING UNDER MY BREATH HE IS DOING IT ALL WRONG A DOWNRIGHT UNMITIGATED VILLAIN WOULD NEVER GO ON LIKE THAT HE WOULD DO SO AND SO HE WOULD LOOK LIKE THIS AND SPEAK LIKE THAT AND ACT LIKE THE OTHER I KNOW HE WOULD MY INSTINCT TELLS ME SO
ssures me, however, and I continue: "Themselves mere peasants," I repeat, "they represent some of the greatest figures in the world's history with as simple a dignity and as grand a bearing as could ever have been expected from the originals themselves. There must be a natural inborn nobility in the character of these highlanders. They could never assume or act that manner _au grand seigneur_ with which they imbue their parts. "The only character poorly played was that of Judas. The part of Judas is really _the_ part of the piece, so far as acting is concerned; but the exemplary householder who essayed it seemed to have no knowledge or experience of the ways and methods of bad men. There seemed to be no side of his character sufficiently in sympathy with wickedness to enable him to understand and portray it. His amateur attempts at scoundrelism quite irritated me. It sounds conceited to say so, but I am convinced I could have given a much more truthful picture of the blackguard myself.  WISH WE HAD GOT A DOG B REASSURES ME HOWEVER AND I CONTINUE THEMSELVES MERE PEASANTS I REPEAT THEY REPRESENT SOME OF THE GREATEST FIGURES IN THE WORLD'S HISTORY WITH AS SIMPLE A DIGNITY AND AS GRAND A BEARING AS COULD EVER HAVE BEEN EXPECTED FROM THE ORIGINALS THEMSELVES THERE MUST BE A NATURAL INBORN NOBILITY IN THE CHARACTER OF THESE HIGHLANDERS THEY COULD NEVER ASSUME OR ACT THAT MANNER O GRAND SENNIR WITH WHICH THEY IMBUE THEIR PARTS THE ONLY CHARACTER POORLY PLAYED WAS THAT OF JUDAS THE PART OF JUDAS IS REALLY THE PART OF THE PIECE SO FAR AS ACTING IS CONCERNED BUT THE EXEMPLARY HOUSEHOLDER WHO ESSAYED IT SEEMED TO HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OR EXPERIENCE OF THE WAYS AND METHODS OF BAD MEN THERE SEEMED TO BE NO SIDE OF HIS CHARACTER SUFFICIENTLY IN SYMPATHY WITH WICKEDNESS TO ENABLE HIM TO UNDERSTAND AND PORTRAY IT HIS AMATEUR ATTEMPT AT SCOUNDRELISM QUITE IRRITATED ME IT SOUNDS CONCEITED TO SAY SO BUT I AM CONVINCED I COULD HAVE GIVEN A MUCH MORE TRUTHFUL PICTURE OF THE BLACKGUARD MYSELF
