(Francis Cowley) Burnand AT A HYPNOTIC SÉANCE. SCENE-A Public Hall in a provincial town. The Hypnotist-a tall, graceful, and handsome young man, in well-fitting evening clothes-has already succeeded in putting most of his subjects to sleep, and is going round and inspecting them critically, as they droop limply on a semicircle of chairs, in a variety of unpicturesque attitudes. The only Lady on the platform is evidently as yet in full possession of her senses. First Female Spectator (to Second). MARIA MANGLES do take a time sending off, don't she? Second F.S. (also a friend of Miss MANGLES). Yes, that she do-it gives her such a silly look, sitting there, the on'y one with her senses about her! First F.S. It's all affectation-she could shut her eyes fast enough if she liked! Second F.S. The 'Ipnotiser's coming round to her now-she'll have to go off now. (With a not unpleasurable anticipation.) I expect he'll make her do all manner o' ridic'lous things! First F.S. Well, it will be a lesson, to her against making' herself so conspicuous another time. I shan't pity her. The Hyp. (after a brief colloquy with Miss MANGLES). I see I am not likely to succeed with this Lady; so, with many thanks to her on behalf of myself and the audience for coming forward, I will detain her no longer.
