CHAPTER II
2/6

Here the story rushed on, _per fas aut nefas_, and the audience went with it.
Certes, some man who understood the stage must have put the incidents together, and then left it to each illiterate histrio to find the words,--words, my dear confreres, signify so little in an acting play.
The movement is the thing.

Grand secret! Analyze, practise it, and restore to grateful stars that lost Pleiad the British Acting Drama.
Of course the Bandit was an ill-used and most estimable man.

He had some mysterious rights to the Estate and Castle of the Remorseless Baron.
That titled usurper, therefore, did all in his power to hunt the Bandit out in his fastnesses and bring him to a bloody end.

Here the interest centred itself in the Bandit's child, who, we need not say, was the little girl in the wreath and spangles, styled in the playbill "Miss Juliet Araminta Wife," and the incidents consisted in her various devices to foil the pursuit of the Baron and save her father.

Some of these incidents were indebted to the Comic Muse, and kept the audience in a broad laugh.
