It is doubtful whether, in any of the Northern Theatres, the same piece could be played with a before cast, taking all the characters together.

She was so cool that I found it quite refreshing to sit in her shade. Occasionally she would look at the General as he was writing, and would break into a broad smile of amused contempt, and affect to hide it behind the fan which she swayed to and fro as slowly and gracefully as she had ever done in td she adder, in their venom."
