18. The Spanish Curate. (Massinger and Fletcher.)
M.: Act I.; Act III., 3; Act IV., 1, 4; Act V., 1, 3.
A. H. B. agrees.
Macaulay adds Act IV., 2 to Massinger.
A. H. C.: Massinger can be clearly traced in Act I., 1, Act V., 1; not in Act V., 3. The trial scene (Act III, 3), though on slighter lines than he uses as a rule, may be due to him.
19. The Fair Maid of the Inn. (Massinger and Fletcher.)
M.: Act I.; Act III., 2; Act V., 3.
A. H. B. attributes to Rowley and Massinger, and thinks Fletcher's share very small.
Macaulay assigns to “Massinger and another (not Fletcher).”
A. H. C.: Massinger wrote Act I., Act V., 3 as far as Clarissa's speech. Fletcher wrote Act II., Act III., Act IV., Act V., 1, 2. The mother's device to save her son is the sort of improbability from which Fletcher does not shrink.
