Excerpt from Paradise Found: Or the Superman Found Out, in Three Acts On the couch mr. Shaw lies in the enchanted sleep into which he was cast by the spell of a wicked Palmist in the pay of the Primrose League on St. George's Day, two hundred years before the Play opens. His head rests on a silken pillow, at the left; the rest of the figure is hidden by a mantle of violet velvet trimmed with a fringe that appears to be of gold. The hair and beard have grown to an abnormal length, as in the case of the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa. With the aid of an opera glass the figure can be seen breathing. A glass case stands against the wall between the dais and the street entrance, containing a partly burnt file of the daily mail.
