Excerpt from Phantasms: A Drama in Four Acts
The actor should not keep strictly to the pathological side of the character. It Is a nervous kind of consumption which makes the invalid very agitated, impetuous, and vivacious. There fore he has almost no cough, no asthma, excepting in some rare moments, when extremely tired out; consequently the actor must often speak frenetically, vehemently, effectively, and often his words should be delivered very emphatically.
For my part, as author, I regard this kind of consumption mo re as a moral illness than a physical one. It is almost the Symbol of Jealousy.'
