Masks and Faces; or, Before and Behind the Curtain: A Comedy in Two Acts

by Tom Taylor; Charles Reade

WOFF. Yes; sure those kind eyes and bright smiles one traces,

Are not deceptive masks—but honest faces.

I’d swear it—but if your hands make it certain,

Then all is right on both sides of the curtain.
