_So._ One of the actors should be dressed as a schoolmistress; some
children can be seated by her with patchwork in their hands. The
mistress can teach them sewing, while in another part of the room an
actor must hold some papers of seeds, and pretend to be sewing the
seeds in a box or pot of earth.
_Ro._ Place the actors all in a row; let them stand gazing at the
audience a moment, then all at the same time make a low bow to the
audience, and that scene is over.
_Sis._ Have a school, and the master should call “sis” to come and
recite; any little girl can take the part of “sis,” or some boy can
complain of his “sis” to the teacher.
_Sorosis._ Can be made very amusing by representing an assembly of
strong-minded women. The gentlemen actors can dress in outlandish
dresses, and act the part of women. They can choose a president, and
other officers, &c.
