Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from None So Deaf as Those Who Won't Hear: A Comedietta in One Act Scene. A parlor handsomely furnished looking out on a garden; console in each comer; on one a lamp, a flower-vase on the other; door in flat, and doors right and left; window at right; gun standing in comer at left; table in front, left, with magazines paper, pens, and ink; at right, front, an easy-chair, and small work-table, on which is a work-basket and hand-bell. Eglantine. (sits at table reading), Qh, what dull trash! (Throws magazine down, ) Ah, me! I can take no interest even in Trollope. Life is a blank. (Comes forward.) Did ever any girl suffer as I do? Nothing to do, nobody to see, - only father to talk to, and he deaf as a post! (Sits and looks at vase of flowers, ) Well, I'll not stand this. These flowers have been here four days. Disgraceful! (Rings.) Jane! (Rings again. Enter Jane with a letter, in flat.) Jane, how can you be so neglectful? Look at these old dead flowers. Throw them away, and get me fresh at once. Jane. Yes, miss. Your pa is not here, miss? Eglantine. (jumps up). No. Is it a caller? Jane. No, miss: a letter. Eglantine. Only a letter! oh, dear! Never any visitors; nothing but letters now, and none of them for me shall die, or go mad. (Sits.) Jane. Yes, miss: your pa is a very sot man, and won't never see no company, since he grew hard of hearing, three years ago. (Takes the flowers from vase.)
