Horror! What form is this?
ANGELA.

Die! _Disengages herself from_ HASSAN, _who springs suddenly forward, and plunges her dagger in_ OSMOND'S _bosom, who falls with a loud groan and faints.

The ghost vanishes._ ANGELA _and_ REGINALD _rush into each other's arms._ "The Castle Spectre" enjoyed great success.

It was supported by the whole strength of the Drury Lane company, John Kemble appearing as Earl Percy, and Mrs.Jordan as the heroine, and was repeated some fifty nights during its first season.
It may be worth recording that in the course of the play, the great John Kemble was required to execute, not exactly what is now known as a "sensation header," but still a gymnastic feat of some difficulty and danger.

Earl Percy has something of the agility of a harlequin about him, and when he obtains admission into his enemy's castle to rescue Angela, he is required to climb from a sofa up to a gothic window high above him, and then, alarmed by the approach of his negro sentinels, to fall from the height flat again at full length upon his sofa, and to pretend to be asleep as his guards had previously left him.
