...pity that there should be included in every play that even touches on an English household the pitiable and ridiculous figure of the love-sick slavey. There must be growing up a professional caste of those who from mother and daughter take this role. It is perhaps why such passable ability of that of Miss Bryton is in this case wasted. Also the hero (we call Mr. Powers the buffoon) rushes through his sentences with rapidity which we may only explain by assuming that he knows their worthlessness and superfluity.

In order that none of the inspiration to be derived from a life well and fully lived, cut short by death in the undertaking...
...commendable breadth of mind the Corporation determined that the memorial should not only be for those who have died in the service of the Allies, but that it should perpetuate the names of all who have given their lives for any cause. Under so inclusive a banner as this, even the most bitter supporters of either side can enthusiastically enlist...
