In contrast to the former productions, the bit where the two travelers drain the pot of ale dry in spite of the efforts of their supposed host to get a swallow himself, was rendered purely for its farce values, and the very rich comedy in it wholly neglected. Above all, the incident where "Diggory" delivers a letter stuck in a broom by way of a salver is palpably out of place. Also the numerous soliloquies, despite their difficulty, might have been given, with more skill. Once started, however, the play runs well...
