...female comics are a Miss Milgrim and a Miss Vogel, who play Mrs. Frail, a fashionable lady of little virtue and less money, and Miss Prue, Angelica's country cousin.

Inness was a frail epileptic who had only one month's formal training in his life; yet he was, along with Homer, Eakins, and Ryder, one of the few great painters in the U.S. in his day.
