"No," she replied; "at least, I'm sure I would have heard by this time if they had." "Do you recall anything peculiar about the mushrooms?" shot out Kennedy. "We talked about them some time, I remember," she said, slowly. "Growing mushrooms is one of Miss Hargrave's hobbies out at her place on Long Island." "Yes," persisted Kennedy; "but I mean anything peculiar about the preparation of them."
Piotr, on receipt of his master's note, carried it at once to his wife, who was one of the half-dozen serfs educated through the influence of Princess Sophia. And upon her explanation of its contents he rushed off to set the kitchens in a hum of preparation.

What we should look for above everything in a comedy or a drama is a representation, exact as possible, of the manners and characters of the dramatis persona of the play; and perhaps the conditions under which the play was written do not allow such representation.
