For possible printer’s errors in spelling, punctuation, etc., only the
changes listed below were made.
_Italics_ and +Small Caps+ were formatted as so.
Stage directions were generally silently moved outside of dialogue.
When at the beginning of dialogue, they were moved above. When at the
end of dialogue, they were moved below. When in the middle of dialogue,
the line was split--with added indentation--and the directions were
moved to the middle.
The alignment of stage directions was silently standardized. For
reference, the first stage direction immediately after a character’s
name was commonly centered below the name in the print.
Indented dialogue, when apparently part of a metrical line divided
among different speakers, was silently indented to align with the other
sections of the metrical line. Unindented dialogue, if likely part of a
metrical line, was only indented when listed below.

SALON CARRÉ FANTASY” for examples such as “+Young Man with Glove.+” and
“+Young Man with a Glove.+”.
