Transcriber’s Note
This transcription is based on images scanned by Google from a copy made available by the Princeton University Library.
The following changes to the text were noted:
- Throughout the text, dashes at the end of lines have been normalized.
- p. 31: Re-enter Margery, R., she goes straight…—Changed comma after “R.” to semicolon.
- p. 46: We musn’t make so much noise.—Changed “musn’t” to “mustn’t” as “mustn’t” is the preferred spelling elsewhere in the text.
- p. 63: Enter Mrs. Sylvester, she hesitates, on seeing Lady Wargrave.—Changed comma after “Sylvester” to semicolon.
- p. 78: Yes, Mrs. Sylvester, its best—Changed “its” to “it’s”.
- p. 84, last line: It was enough—Added period to end of sentence.
The html version of this etext attempts to reproduce the layout of the printed text. However, some concessions have been made, particularly in the handling of stage directions enclosed by brackets on one side. When these fit on a line, they were printed flush right. When they did not, they were printed on the next line. For the purposes of this transcription, these stage directions were all placed on the next line, indented the same amount from the left margin, and coded as hanging paragraphs.
