She is a nice lady and affable, but her antecedents are doubtful, and she seems to be no better than she ought to be  possibly worse. SHE IS A NICE LADY AND AFFABLE BUT HER ANTECEDENTS ARE DOUBTFUL AND SHE SEEMS TO BE NO BETTER THAN SHE OUGHT TO BE POSSIBLY WORSE
od stage lawyer. The good stage lawyer also wipes away a tear when sad things happen; and he turns away to do this and blows his nose, and says he thinks he has a fly in his eye. This touching trait in his character is always held in great esteem by the audience and is much applauded. The good stage lawyer is never by any chance a married man. (Few good men are, so we gather from our married lady friends.) He loved in early life the heroine's mother. That "sainted woman" (tear and nose business) died and is now among the angels--the gentleman who did marry her, by the bye, is not quite so sure about this latter point, but the lawyer is fixed on the idea. In stage literature of a frivolous nature the lawyer is a very different individual. In comedy he is young, he possesses chambers, and he is married (there is no doubt about this latter fact); and his wife and his mother-in-law spend most of the day in his office and make the dull old place quite lively for him. He only has one client.
