Shaw then saw fit to explain significances. He composed a ponderous epilogue bringing the characters together in a dream which drifted down the centuries. They settled the merits of martyrdom and all but settled the play. Possibly Shaw preferred to have his audience leave the theatre with wrinkled brow rather than glistening eye. Possibly he deliberately stepped on his climax because he is Shaw and defies the rules...
...Club seems to have been considered by Boston's outer-circle parents far preferable to movies or prize fights, for it is reported that already the house is sold out for the Glee Club's concert next week. It would seem to many remarkable that a program of "high-brow" music could draw such a throng of children (unless they were dragged to it by the ears).

...World's Record a day is not nearly enough for the Navy. Lieutenants Williams and Brow have been indulging in a friendly game of record-smashing which is as close as the most rabid fan for races could wish.

...quelling her inconquerable tongue would be to administer the medicine of a certain doctor in Shaw's play. "The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife". It will be remembered that this learned physician unloosed the lady's tongue, and since from then on it was never still, the brow-beaten husband had the doctor tie it up again. But such benign doctors only lived in the Middle Age or in Shaw's imagination. Therefore the one hope remaining to Phillipsburg is that tht Damocletian sword of suspended sentence will shortly fall and that the minions of the law with cotton...
