The only thing in which he is good to her is in the matter of dress. He does not stint her in dress. THE ONLY THING IN WHICH HE IS GOOD TO HER IS THE MATTER OF DRESS HE DOES NOT STINT HER IN DRESS
t can hardly be said to have been much improved in this direction. Not but what it must be confessed that her change of feeling is, under the circumstances, only natural. He took her away from her happy, peaceful home when she was very young and brought her up to this wicked overgrown London. He did not marry her. There is no earthly reason why he should not have married her. She must have been a fine girl at that time (and she is a good-looking woman as it is, with dash and go about her), and any other man would have settled down cozily with her and have led a simple, blameless life. But the stage villain is built cussed. He ill-uses this female most shockingly--not for any cause or motive whatever; indeed, his own practical interests should prompt him to treat her well and keep friends with her--but from the natural cussedness to which we have just alluded. When he speaks to her he seizes her by the wrist and breathes what he's got to say into her ear, and it tickles and revolts her. AT ON THE WHOLE HIS LOT CAN HARDLY BE SAID TO HAVE BEEN IMPROVED MUCH IN THIS DIRECTION NOT BUT WHAT IT MUST BE CONFESSED THAT HER CHANGE OF FEELING IS UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES ONLY NATURAL HE TOOK HER AWAY FROM HER HAPPY PEACEFUL HOME WHEN SHE WAS VERY YOUNG AND BROUGHT HER TO THIS WICKED OVERGROWN LONDON HE DID NOT MARRY HER THERE IS NO EARTHLY REASON WHY HE SHOULD NOT HAVE MARRIED HER SHE MUST HAVE BEEN A FINE GIRL AT THE TIME AND SHE IS A GOOD LOOKING WOMAN AS IT IS WITH A DASH AND A GO ABOUT HER AND ANY OTHER MAN WOULD HAVE SETTLED DOWN COSELY WITH HER AND LED A SIMPLE BLAMELESS LIFE BUT THE STAGEWOMAN IS BUILT CUSSED HE ILL USES THIS FEMALE MOST SHOCKINGLY NOT FOR ANY CAUSE OR MOTIVE WHATEVER INDEED HIS OWN PRACTICAL INTERESTS SHOULD PROMPT HIM TO TREAT HER WELL AND KEEP FRIENDS WITH HER BUT FROM THE NATURAL CUSSEDNESS TO WHICH WE HAVE JUST ALLUDED WHEN HE SPEAKS TO HER HE SEIZES HER BY THE WRIST AND BREATHES WHAT HE HAS GOT TO SAY TO IT INTO HER EAR AND IT TICKLES AND REVOLTS HER
