Meantime the performance of the hero was constantly gaining in firmness and assurance, and Dickon was more and more admirable. The beginning of the fourth act showed a falling off. It is doubtful whether, with any acting, the long soliloquies of Ravensbane at this point could be made to hold an audience; but, as it was, Savery's elocution was here hardly equal...

...suddenly confronted with his scarecrow self, in the the glass of Truth. At the beginning of the fourth act, he is found in the deepest agonies of despair, for his kindled spirit revolts at sight of himself, as he really is.
