ACT. II.--Account for the dresses of the bathing-women who come in and dance before the Queen. Where are the machines? What is the Page's song, "_No, no, no, no!_" about? [Illustration: _Raoul di Nangis Ybos._ "'Tu m'ami!' How dare you! '_Tu_ m'ami!' I can't tell you how angry I am with you. I'll _vibrato_ you!" [_Shakes himself, and her at the same time._]] Is _Raoul_ in love with the Queen, or the Queen with _Raoul_? In either case account reasonably for the subsequent conduct of each of them. What is the Queen singing about at commencement of Act? ACT III.--What is _Valentine_ doing out in the streets, in a wedding-dress, late at night? Why do the women turn their backs on the church when they kneel in the streets to say their prayers? Is there no more kneeling-room inside the church? If so, why are people still being admitted while the women are kneeling outside? What service should you say was going on? Where do the Maritanas with tambourines all come from? And why? Are they the bathing-women in another costume? If so, show their connection with the plot. After the curfew has sounded, and a man with a lantern has sent everyone to bed, why do all the people suddenly come out of bed again, every one of them all dressed and ready for anything? What is the Queen doing riding about the town at night on a white horse? ACT IV.--Don't you think the Conspirators are very simple-minded people, not to look behind the curtain where _Raoul_ is hidden? What have the nuns to do with the blessing of the daggers? Wouldn't they be rather in the way in a conspiracy? On what storey does the action of Act IV. take place, and what is the height from the ground that _Raoul_ has to leap when he jumps out of the window? There used to be a Fifth Act, with a grand _trio_ and _chorale_, what has become of it? If played, does anyone stop to hear it? If not played, can audience sue the management, or demand their money back? [Illustration: Unexpected effect. Sudden appearance of representative of Katti Lanner.]
