Protes, Against Usual Hero.

Protest Against Usual Hero.
II was n protest against the convcn.
t.onal hero. and on the stage II was
one OF the earliest OF modern prob.
lem" plays, before problem" plays
were recognized and labeled. II re.
luircs great good will to the author
to believe that the heroine could re.
turn to her husbands house and rc.
main there without the husband see.
ing through the transparent disguise
OF pair of blue goggles. Modern
criticism is apt to characterize Lady
Isabel as very silly woman and her
husband as n very dense specimen of
manhood.
While Mrs. Henry Wood was not
skillful In character drawing. she is
said to have had In mind q former
owner OF Abberton Hall when she
drew Mr.. Carlyle. This gentleman
restored the old church and was gen.
orally admired In the neighborhood
for his uniform kindness and gener.
osity.
Abberton is the modern spelling Of
the Ebriton of the Domesday book.
ard It goes back TO Saxon times. when
Its owners were the abbots of Per.
shore. In the reign OF Edward I. the
name was changed TO Albreton. aud
In 1884 all the manorial rights and
patronage of the parish were granted
to Thomas and Francis Sheldon by
Henry VIII. Until late in the eigh.
teenth century the sheldors held the
manor. but then the estate passed
into the hands OF +. Laslet. who rep
resented the borough OF Worcester
