The people on the stage think very highly of the good old man, but they don't encourage him much after the first act. He generally dies in the first act. If he does not seem likely to die they murder him. THE PEOPLE ON THE STAGE THINK VERY HIGHLY OF THE GOOD OLD MAN BUT THEY DON'T ENCOURAGE HIM MUCH AFTER THE FIRST ACT HE GENERALLY DIES IN THE FIRST ACT IF HE DOES NOT SEEM LIKELY TO DIE THEY MURDER HIM
bar for him. He likes to come out in the street and sing about it and do tricks with it, such as turning it topsy-turvy over his head. Notwithstanding all this he is moderate, mind you. You can't say he takes too much. One small jug of ale among forty is his usual allowance. He has a keen sense of humor and is easily amused. There is something almost pathetic about the way he goes into convulsions of laughter over such very small jokes. How a man like that would enjoy a real joke! One day he will perhaps hear a real joke. Who knows? It will, however, probably kill him. One grows to love the stage peasant after awhile. He is so good, so child-like, so unworldly. He realizes one's ideal of Christianity. THE GOOD OLD MAN. He has lost his wife. But he knows where she is--among the angels! She isn't all gone, because the heroine has her hair. "Ah, you've got your mother's hair," says the good old man, feeling the girl's head all over as she kneels beside him. Then they all wipe away a tear.
