Tho piece is of such a nature that you like it better every time you see it." Everywhere the "children's scenes which const.t-utc. such an important feature of the play, are spoken of as a revelation of juvenile cleverness.

This play is the work of a master hand, and its constriction finished and clever. It has vitality, atmosphere, movement, and an unswerving sense or the dramatic, which makes if. perhaps, the most attractive of the author's plays.
