A series of twenty or more questions on the
found in the first folio of Shakespeares
plays which appeared in 1923 aud did not ap-
pear in the quarto Of 1910. Among the in
terestlng hist orical connections brought up
by Mrs. Galpin was the new map of the
Indies, printed in 1893, to which reference
was made in the play and which was the
first map of the world including. this hith-
erto unknown territory. The club then dis,
cussed the general outline of the play and
its principal characters. Olivia's sadness in
the loss of her father and brother and her
strange vow to veil her face for seven years
in token of her sorrow, was particularly
interesting, as was also her unfortunate
surroundings IN the home OF her uncle, Sir
Toby Bech. The drunken Sir Toby, Fabius,
the clown, and the poorest fool ever drawn
by Shakespeare; Maria, whose love for Sir
Toby was made so evident, and Malvolio,
the steward to Olivia, were each briefly dis
cussed. The unfortunate ship-wrecked
maiden, Viola, was followed from the time
when bereft of father and brother. She
sought safety in the service of the Duke, dis
guising herself as a page, until her final dis
covery of her brother Sebastian and the
happy ending of her sadness. The similarity
of the characters of Sir Toby and Falstaff
was briefly considered. The origin of
Twelfth Night, or Epiphany, with its Gus
tomary feastings and merry -makings, was
discussed and Mrs. Galpin gave bright
little talk on the barristers of the Inner
Temple their Christmas reveres and the
first presentation of the play, which took
place before these learned men. From this
fact the play undoubtedly took it's name.
Next week the club will take up critical
study of the first act and the various char
acters included in it.
