Oh, they do have an unhappy time of it  the good people in plays! Then she is the only person in the piece who can sit on the comic man. OH THEY DO HAVE AN UNHAPPY TIME OF IT THE GOOD PEOPLE IN PLAYS AND THEN SHE IS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE PLACE WHO CAN SIT ON THE COMIC MAN
 the same way. There is a good deal to be said in favor of the adventuress. True, she possesses rather too much sarcasm and repartee to make things quite agreeable round the domestic hearth, and when she has got all her clothes on there is not much room left in the place for anybody else; but taken on the whole she is decidedly attractive. She has grit and go in her. She is alive. She can do something to help herself besides calling for "George." She has not got a stage child--if she ever had one, she has left it on somebody else's doorstep which, presuming there was no water handy to drown it in, seems to be about the most sensible thing she could have done with it. She is not oppressively good. She never wants to be "unhanded" or "let to pass." She is not always being shocked or insulted by people telling her that they love her; she does not seem to mind it if they do. She is not always fainting, and crying, and sobbing, and wailing, and moaning, like the good people in the play are.
