FIRST CRITICAL PERSON. "How do you like it?"

SECOND CRITICAL PERSON. "I hardly think the unities are fixed up just

COMIC PERSON. "Now here's another joke which you can't guess. Said a

ACT III.--_Scene, the outside of a prison in which_ RENE _is confined. A

YOUNG LADY. "Pa, why did you come here, if you intended to sleep all the
