If the former, recommend it, and it will assuredly obtain, maugre opposition.
Moreover, it happened once that a girl in the village had run away with a strolling player and had gone on the stage, an incident which had caused a great sensation in the tiny wood- encircled hamlet, and had brought all the old women of the place out to their doorsteps to croak and chatter, and prognosticate terrible things in the future for the eloping damsel.
