Notes

  • Epigraph:

    'All the world's a stage,-

    And all the men and women merely players;

    They have their exits, and their entrances,

    And one man in his day plays many parts.'

    Shakespeare

    'All these, and more, came flocking.'

    Milton

    'Whoop-off they go; haloo! they shout-they fly!

    They spur-they whip-they crack !'

    Tennant
