Stage-Land: (Jerome K. Jerome Classics Collection)
These "estates" are a great anxiety to the stage hero. He is not what you would call a business man, as far as we can judge, and his attempts to manage his own property invariably land him in ruin and distraction. His "estates," however, always get taken away from him by the villain before the first act is over, and this saves him all further trouble with regard to them until the end of the play, when he gets saddled with them once more. Not but what it must be confessed that there is much excuse for the poor fellow's general bewilderment concerning his affairs and for his legal errors and confusions generally. Stage "law" may not be quite the most fearful and wonderful mystery in the whole universe, but it's near it-very near it. We were under the impression at one time that we ourselves knew something-just a little-about statutory and common law, but after paying attention to the legal points of one or two plays we found that we were mere children at it.
