action was contagious. Money began
to be thrown to the stage from all

totors in the galleries followed the
example. The stage was crowded
with people and there was imminent

was more sport for the galleries, and

the covered heads. Subscriptions by
counties were called for and 5000
was raised in ten minutes.
