Transcriber’s Note

This transcription is based on scanned images posted by Google from a copy from the Harvard library:

[nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.FIG:002663452]

Note that the Google scans are included in a set of four Sydney Grundy plays published by Samuel French posted under the title of the first play in the set, A Fool’s Paradise. Based on how the Harvard Library catalogs the individual copies, I assume Google combined the different scans into a single document. The Silver Shield is the fourth play in the set.
