In general, this transcription attempts to retain the formatting, punctuation and spelling of the source text, including variant spellings such as “atchieu,” “doat,” and “shewn.”
The following changes were made:
- p. 3: Deleted “[Mr. Lacy’s List.]” at the top of the page. This appears to be a typesetting error.

- p. 8: FRANK. (to ADELAIDE) He says his wife will be back direcctly.—Changed “direcctly” to “directly”.
- p. 12: FRANK. Nor I. (filling glasses) but a glass of wine—Capitalized “but” after the parenthesis.
- p. 12: my poor husband has got the rheumatism. (filling his pipe) but if you object—Capitalized “but” after the parenthesis.
- p. 13: (runs off, door, R.—shaking at, door, L., continues)—Deleted comma after “at”.
- p. 14: FRANK. (R. C ) Well, the fact is—Inserted a period between “C” and the closing parenthesis.
