Transcriber’s Notes

In the [play itself] all apparent printing errors have been retained; no attempt has been made to standardise formatting.

In the [front] and [end matter], simple typographical errors have been corrected; variant spelling, punctuation, and inconsistent hyphenation have been preserved as printed.

On some reading devices, [inline stage directions] are set off from the text by parentheses added by the transcriber. [Footnote headings] and navigational [[links]] in brackets were also added.

The following shows the changed text below the original text. All changes are also noted in the source code: search <!--TN:
