“A change for the batter,” she says, “has" taken place in this ranpect--at any rate, in conduct. People believe better now, and in our profession, arried on as it is in the public eye, behaviour is everything.
At the Haymarket there were simply no bounds to what was said in the groen-room. One night I remember gathering up my skirts (we were, I think, playing The Rivale at the time) making a oured on Capitala, out of best actors in old comedy I over know, had taught me, and sweeping out of the room with the famous line from another Sheridan play: Ladies and gentlemen, I leave my character behind me!'
"I see now that this was very priggish of me but Iam quite as nucompromising in my hatred of scandal now as I wan thou,
Quite recsetly I had a line to say is Cap. tain Brassbound's Conversion, which is a very helpful reply to any tale bearing. As if any. one ever know the whole truth about anything! That is just the point. It is only the whole truth which is Informing and fair in the long run, and the whole truth is never known.

The task of reading and abewering letters has been a heavy one all my life, but it would be ungrateful to complain of it. To some people expression is life itself.
