...apprentice, is a gleefully "fresh" youngster, and gleefully done, without being overdone, by Mr. Randall--which is matter for praise. Mullisheg, King of Fez, has a fairly bootless existence, and Mr. Snedeker deserves compliment for acting with discrimination and genuineness this part of difficult rapidness. Captain Goodlack, Spencer's friend, and even Spencer himself, are not in the play specially "convincing" persons: they are chiefly the means of proving to us that Bess is "a girl worth gold." Under these circumstances, Mr. Kenyon as the rather graceless Goodlack and Mr. Eliot as Spencer did their parts with judgment and success...
...good a cavalry officer in the Civil War, and the patriotism that led him to take up arms in that long contest; if he had not had the loyalty, generosity and powers of sympathy and of affection that made him so good a husband and father, so true a friend, so indispensable an ally, his colleagues might indeed be thinking with appreciation of the scientific work he did in physiology, but the warm glow would be absent that now fills all our hearts.

He bids her go to the Windmill Tavern which he owns at Foy, and departs for Fayal with his friend Captain Goodlack. Bess goes to Foy and acts as mistress of the tavern. Among the gallants whom her beauty has attracted, is a bully named Roughman. Disguised as a page, Bess tries the courage of Roughman and finds him to be a coward. Spencer, in the mean-while, has been...
Before his death Mr. Mannering to whom Dr. Garret was under great obligation, expressed the wish that his friend marry his daughter. From the nature of the request Dr. Garret felt bound to comply with it, and although the marriage involved the sacrifice of a position of many possibilities, he acceded, and married her. Not until after the wedding did Joan discover her husband's unselfishness; but then realizing the situation, she sought to free him by divorce. He, on his part, finding not only that she had fallen in love with him but also that...
