But the great defect of the whole piece is that the scene has been unprofitably prolonged. It does not further the action of the play. In spite of its length, it leaves the hero and the heroine in the same predicament they were in, long before. The first interview of the lovers, where the heroine is all bashfulness and is unable to sum up her energy and courage to give out her feelings, must be short. But the case here is quite otherwise. The heroine as introduced-here is wanting inr bashifulness and is no better than a flirt. We cannot believe that the skilful dramatist, a close observer of human nature, can make such a mistake; and therefore we have not adopted the piece as a part of the text.
