حس پشت این کلمات برایم جالب است. این که نمایش‌نامه نویس چه طور انتظار دارد که انتخاب چهره و لباس و گریم بازیگر روی صحنه گویای همه‌ی این ناکفتنی ها باشد:

MRS BOYLE enters by door on right; she has been shopping and carries a small parcel in her hand. She is forty-five years of age, and twenty years ago she must have been a pretty woman; but her face has now assumed that look which ultimately settles down upon the faces of the women of the working-class; a look of listless monotony and harassed anxiety, blending with an expression of mechanical resistance. Were circumstances favourable, she would probably be a handsome, active and clever woman.
