A Mid-Summer Night’s Dream
On the evening of June seventh last year, a great number of guests assembled on the lawn around the summer house at Oakwood to see the Shakespearian play, “A Mid-Summer Night’s Dream.” It was not yet
wholly dark, and the rising moon gave promise of transforming all into a veritable fairyland. Nor was the promise idle, for soon a myriad of rain- bow-hued fairies came fluttering and winging their way from a distance, tdberon and Queen Titania could never have been mistaken for mortals, while the lovers, though mortal, played their parts so well that we could but applaud them. Never was Bottom more attractive to an enamoured queen than this one was as he filled the air with his melodious songs and snores. The last touch to the perfection of the evening was the liquid clearness of Miss Hewes’s voice as it lost itself in the darkness, or found itself again in the moonlight. It was a shock to be awakened to reality at the end of the play, but congratulations must be extended on all sides, and never were congratulations more deservedly given.
