It is a grand thing to hear him bullyragging the villain. The stage hero is always entitled to "estates," chiefly remarkable for their high state of cultivation and for the eccentric ground plan of the "manor house" upon them.

ETIRING INDIVIDUAL, OF WHOM WE HEAR SO MUCH BUT SEE SO LITTLE, "THE EARNEST STUDENT OF THE DRAMA," THIS (COMPARATIVELY) TRUTHFUL LITTLE BOOK IS LOVINGLY DEDICATED. CONTENTS. THE HERO THE VILLAIN THE HEROINE THE COMIC MAN THE LAWYER THE ADVENTURESS THE SERVANT GIRL THE CHILD THE COMIC LOVERS THE PEASANTS THE GOOD OLD MAN THE IRISHMAN THE DETECTIVE THE SAILOR STAGE-LAND. THE HERO. His name is George, generally speaking. "Call me George!" he says to the heroine. She calls him George (in a very low voice, because she is so young and timid). Then he is happy. The stage hero never has any work to do. He is always hanging about and getting into trouble. His chief aim in life is to be accused of crimes he has never committed, and if he can muddle things up with a corpse in some complicated way so as to get himself reasonably mistaken for the murderer, he feels his day has not been wasted. He has a wonderful gift of speech and a flow of language calculated to strike terror to the bravest heart.
