Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Blue Beard, ‘ that little tragic and dramatic masterpiece, moves me yet; I still tremble for Puss in Boots when the ogre turns into a lion and still one’s heart goes with the girl who Seeks her lost and enchanted lover, and wins him again in the third night Of watching and Of tears. This may not seem a taste to be proud of, but it is a taste to be grateful for, like the love Of any other thing that is Old and plain, and dallies with the simplicity Of love.
