Ah, I was happy in those days just a freckled, black-haired slip of a little girl, with my frock torn and my hands all scratched with the berry bushes." She had begun by dramatising, but by now she was acting acting with all her histrionic power at fullest stretch, acting the part of a woman unhappy amid luxuries, who looked back with regret and with longing towards a joyous, simple childhood.
But after all, as a matter of fact, some of the greatest geniuses have done it, from Shakespeare botching up bad comedies and dramatising bad novels down to Dickens writing a masterpiece as the mere framework for a Mr. Seymour's sketches. Nor is the true explanation irrelevant to the spirit and power of Dickens.
The gradual movement in the Church towards elaboration in its services which began in the ninth century, a movement which led to the dramatising of the Mass, out of which the liturgical drama, and eventually the miracle-play, were evolved, was a popular movement. To a people ignorant of Latin, yet fond of shows, it provided instruction and diversion alike.
He had no knowledge whatever of zoology, and appeared to wish for none. His pleasure consisted in watching the curious expressions and movements of the animals and in dramatising them. On leaving the Zoo, I said, 'The cross you were just now looking at is as remarkable for its history as for its beauty. It was stolen from the tomb of a near relative of mine.
This interlude, or rather inter-drone, repulsive to write, can hardly be excluded from a theme dramatising Celtic views, and treating of a blood, to which the idea of country must shine resplendently if we would have it running at full tide through the arteries.

I therfore observed that I considered it unpatriotic, with the Enemy at our gatez, to have Sauterne on the table and a Cocktail beforehand, as well as expencive tobacco and so on, even although economising in other ways, such as furnature. "What's that?" my father said to me, in a sharp tone. "Let her alone, father," Leila said. "She's just dramatising herself as usual.
It needs but to watch the gesticulations with which the savage accompanies his speech to see a Bushman or a Kaffir dramatising before an audience his mode of catching game or to note the extreme paucity of words in all primitive vocabularies; to infer that at first, attitudes, gestures, and sounds, were all combined to produce as good a likeness as possible, of the things, animals, persons, or events described; and that as the sounds came to be understood by themselves the gestures fell into disuse: leaving traces, however, in the manners of the more excitable civilised races.
'It has been suggested to me, do you know, she said when her own works had been at last disposed of, 'that your "Illusion" would make such an admirable play; the central motive really so dramatic.
