By George Bernard Shaw
Transcriber's Notes on the editing: Punctuation and spelling
are retained as in the printed text. Shaw used a non-
standard system of spelling and punctuation. For example,
contractions usually have no apostrophe: "don't" is given
as "dont", "you've" as "youve", and so on. Abbreviated
honorifics have no trailing period: "Dr." is given as "Dr",
"Mrs." as "Mrs", and so on. "Shakespeare" is given as
"Shakespear". Where several characters in the play are
speaking at once, I have indicated it with vertical bars
("|"). The pound (currency) symbol has been replaced by the
word "pounds".
