If you have run away with the clergyman's daughter and she still clings to you, do not throw her down in the center of the stage and call her names. IF YOU HAVE RUN AWAY WITH THE CLERGYMAN'S DAUGHTER AS SHE STILL CLINGS TO YOU DO NOT THROW HER DOWN IN THE CENTRE OF THE STAGE AND CALL HER NAMES
l say I am a bad man and may even refuse to kiss me. The comic man will cover me with humorous opprobrium, and the villagers will get a day off and hang about the village pub and hoot me. Everybody will see through my villainy, and I shall be nabbed in the end. I always am. But it is no matter, I will be a villain--ha! ha!" On the whole, the stage villain appears to us to be a rather badly used individual. He never has any "estates" or property himself, and his only chance of getting on in the world is to sneak the hero's. He has an affectionate disposition, and never having any wife of his own he is compelled to love other people's; but his affection is ever unrequited, and everything comes wrong for him in the end. Our advice to stage villains generally, after careful observation of (stage) life and (stage) human nature, is as follows: Never be a stage villain at all if you can help it. The life is too harassing and the remuneration altogether disproportionate to the risks and labor.
