<p>“What is the matter?” asked her ladyship, in the heavy tone of one half-roused; “I was not asleep.”</p>
<p>“Oh dear, no, ma’am, nobody suspected you! Well, Edmund,” he continued, returning to the former subject, posture, and voice, as soon as Lady Bertram began to nod again, “but <em>this</em> I <em>will</em> maintain, that we shall be doing no harm.”</p>
<p>“I cannot agree with you; I am convinced that my father would totally disapprove it.”</p>
<p>“And I am convinced to the contrary. Nobody is fonder of the exercise of talent in young people, or promotes it more, than my father, and for anything of the acting, spouting, reciting kind, I think he has always a decided taste. I am sure he encouraged it in us as boys. How many a time have we mourned over the dead body of Julius Caesar, and to <em>be’d</em> and not <em>to be’d</em>, in this very room, for his amusement? And I am sure, <em>my name was Norval</em>, every evening of my life through one Christmas holidays.”</p>

<p>“It was a very different thing. You must see the difference yourself. My father wished us, as schoolboys, to speak well, but he would never wish his grown-up daughters to be acting plays. His sense of decorum is strict.”</p>
<p>“I know all that,” said Tom, displeased. “I know my father as well as you do; and I’ll take care that his daughters do nothing to distress him. Manage your own concerns, Edmund, and I’ll take care of the rest of the family.”</p>
<p>“If you are resolved on acting,” replied the persevering Edmund, “I must hope it will be in a very small and quiet way; and I think a theatre ought not to be attempted. It would be taking liberties with my father’s house in his absence which could not be justified.”</p>
