Excerpt from Lost Angel of a Ruined Paradise: A Drama of Modern Life

Eva. - Yes, Miss Prue. Have you? N ow, no blunder, Miss Prue, or I shall certainly laugh out, and shan't I get my penance in the morning? You disgraced the community, Miss! You shamed the Institute before all Dublin! Thus saith, or shall say, the gentle mistress, already niched and statued as a saint!

Grace - Shame, Eva! There's no one like our mistress in the whole world! What's this I've got to do? Hold the distaff, isn't it? These blessed stars will keep coming off?

Stage-manageress (bursting in, in a lugli state of frenzy).-quick, quick, quick! The tableaux are nearly over, and the statues are waiting!
