1823
After it has been going on for half an hour, and the people "up stage" have made themselves hoarse with shouting, and somebody has been boisterously murdered and all the furniture upset, then the people "down stage" "think they hear a noise." AFTER IT HAD BEEN GOING ON FOR HALF AN HOUR AND THE PEOPLE UP STAGE HAVE MADE THEMSELVES HOARSE WITH SHOUTING AND SOMEBODY HAS BEEN BOISTEROUSLY MURDERED AND ALL THE FURNITURE UPSET THEN THE PEOPLE DOWNSTAKE THINK THEY HEAR A NOISE
 beside them, while they are performing these fearful crimes. It is marvelous how short-sighted people on the stage are. We always thought that the young lady in real life was moderately good at not seeing folks she did not want to when they were standing straight in front of her, but her affliction in this direction is as nothing compared with that of her brothers and sisters on the stage. These unfortunate people come into rooms where there are crowds of people about--people that it is most important that they should see, and owing to not seeing whom they get themselves into fearful trouble, and they never notice any of them. They talk to somebody opposite, and they can't see a third person that is standing bang between the two of them. You might fancy they wore blinkers. Then, again, their hearing is so terribly weak. It really ought to be seen to. People talk and chatter at the very top of their voices close behind them, and they never hear a word--don't know anybody's there, even. EE HIM THERE STANDING CLOSE BESIDE THEM WHILE THEY ARE PERFORMING THESE FEARFUL CRIMES IT IS MARVELLOUS HOW SHORT SIGHTED PEOPLE ON THE STAGE ARE WE ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT THE YOUNG LADY IN REAL LIFE WAS MODERATELY GOOD AT NOT SEEING FOLKS SHE DID NOT WANT TO WHEN THEY WERE STANDING STRAIGHT IN FRONT OF HER BUT HER AFFLICTION IN THIS DIRECTION IS NOTHING COMPARED TO THAT OF HER BROTHERS AND SISTERS ON THE STAGE THESE UNFORTUNATE PEOPLE COME INTO ROOMS WHERE THERE ARE CROWDS OF PEOPLE ABOUT PEOPLE THAT IS MOST IMPORTANT THAT THEY SHOULD SEE AND OWING TO NOT SEEING WHOM THEY GET THEMSELVES INTO FEARFUL TROUBLE AND THEY NEVER NOTICE ANY OF THEM THEY TALK TO SOMEBODY OPPOSITE AND THEY CAN'T SEE A THIRD PERSON THAT IS STANDING BANG BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM YOU MIGHT FANCY THEY WILL BLINKERS THEN AGAIN THEIR HEARING IS SO TERRIBLY WEAK IT REALLY OUGHT TO BE SEEN TO PEOPLE TALK AND CHATTER AT THE VERY TOP OF THEIR VOICES CLOSE BEHIND THEM AND THEY NEVER HEAR A WORD DON'T KNOW ANYBODY'S THERE EVEN
