Romeo and Juliet wouldn't have paid any attention to the little family disagreement if they had lived to-day." "In the case of Romeo and Juliet, if I remember correctly," said Ben, "it was not exactly a question of friendship."
Two years later Burbie published an authorised edition. Oddly enough, the success of "Romeo and Juliet" would appear to have been eclipsed by that of "King Henry VI." The events set out in the trilogy were sufficiently familiar to the people to give the work an interest that is almost fictitious. Criticism has shown that the poet's part in these productions was but small.

It came at last, and Juliet stalked in. Had Lady Macbeth responded to the summons we could not have been more amazed. Miss Anderson is heroic in size and manner. The lovely heiress to the house of the Capulets, on the turn of sixteen, swept in upon the stage as if she were mistress of the house, situation, and of fate, and bent on bringing the enemy to terms.
"I can't resist that," he said. "So now we're quits, are we? And no one any the worse. Juliet, you'll have to marry me soon." She drew away from his arms, still panting a little.
