Duly Thanked.
A good story is told of a certain theatre proprietor's farewell. His little wooden playhouse had existed a season, but the box-office had not been overworked. The final night came, and the broken-hearted owner made his speech. "I must thank you," he said, v for the way you have rallied round this temple of Thesp'is. It is not c great theatre, I admit, but~it is the best I could afford. " I must thank you, people of Blankham, for the wav you have patronised me; but if I had built this place on Goodwin Sands, I believe I should have had more support from the shipwrecked sailors."
