Leading Lady (very energetically): "Go not, dearest Hawes! The Gorhamites are a-a-a-um-um devour thee."
Mrs. S—n—s: "How! What!!"
Mrs. J——h: "Are those peasantry up there?"
Boy comes up to the stage and addresses the manager through his nose: "Mr. G., I can't find him anywhere."
H——y J——n: "For as much as I"—(terrible hammering).
Nasal boy: "Mr. G., I can't find him anywhere."
L—c—h: "Stop my paper!"
Manager: "Mr. L., that must be brought out very strong; thus, Stop my paper!"
L—c—h (bringing it out with an emphasis which raises the roof off the theatre): "Stop my paper!"
The leading lady hero goes through the motion of fainting and falls against the star, who is partly unbalanced by her weight and momentum. The star then rushes distractedly about, arranging the supernumeraries to his liking. Ed—s and B—y walk abstractedly to and fro. S—n—r dances to a lady near the wings. These impromptu dances seem to be a favorite pastime on the undressed stage.
