There is a good deal to be said in favor of the adventuress. True, she possesses rather too much sarcasm and repartee to make things quite agreeable round the domestic hearth, and when she has got all her clothes on there is not much room left in the place for anybody else; but taken on the whole she is decidedly attractive.

o return to our adventuress. She is by no means a bad woman. There is much good in her. This is more than proved by the fact that she learns to love the hero before she dies; for no one but a really good woman capable of extraordinary patience and gentleness could ever, we are convinced, grow to feel any other sentiment for that irritating ass, than a desire to throw bricks at him. The stage adventuress would be a much better woman, too, if it were not for the heroine. The adventuress makes the most complete arrangements for being noble and self-sacrificing--that is, for going away and never coming back, and is just about to carry them out, when the heroine, who has a perfect genius for being in the wrong place at the right time, comes in and spoils it all. No stage adventuress can be good while the heroine is about. The sight of the heroine rouses every bad feeling in her breast. We can sympathize with her in this respect. The heroine often affects ourselves in precisely the same way. ANS SUDDEN DEATH TO RETURN TO OUR ADVENTURESS SHE IS BY NO MEANS A BAD WOMAN THERE IS MUCH GOOD ENOUGH THIS IS MORE THAN PROVED BY THE FACT THAT SHE LEARNS TO LOVE THE HERO BEFORE SHE DIES FOR NO ONE BUT A REALLY GOOD WOMAN CAPABLE OF EXTRAORDINARY PATIENCE AND GENTLENESS COULD EVER AS WE ARE CONVINCED GROW TO FEEL ANY OTHER SENTIMENT FOR THE IRRITATING US THAN A DESIRE TO THROW BRICKS AT HIM THE STAGE ADVENTURESS WOULD BE A MUCH BETTER WOMAN TOO IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE HEROINE THE ADVENTURESS MAKES THE MOST COMPLETE ARRANGEMENTS FOR BEING NOBLE AND SELF SACRIFICING THAT IS FOR GOING AWAY AND NEVER COMING BACK AND IT IS JUST ABOUT TO CARRY THEM OUT WHEN THE HEROINE WHO HAS A PERFECT GENIUS FOR BEING IN THE WRONG PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME COMES IN AND SPOILS IT ALL NO STAGE ADVENTURESS CAN BE GOOD WHILE THE HEROINE IS ABOUT THE SIGHT OF THE HEROINE ROUGES EVERY BAD FEELING IN HER BREAST WE CAN SYMPATHIZE WITH HER IN THIS RESPECT THE HEROINE OFTEN AFFECTS OURSELVES IN PRECISELY THE SAME WAY
