Trang 244 - She left the stage, was called for, and with infinite persuasion was prevailed upon to return. However, she did ; walked forward, and told them she was there ready and willing to perform her character if they chose to permit her ; that the decision was theirs — on or off, just as they pleased, it was a matter of indifference to her. The ' ons ' had it, and all went smoothly afterwards.
