Reader's note

J.M. Barrie is most famous for the story of 'Peter Pan' but this particular play, 'Alice-sit-by-the-fire' still has the same over-arching themes. It is also where Barrie shows his presence as a novelist when he writes his stage directions - If Amy makes any reply the words arrive upside-down and are unintelligible. The maid announces Miss Dunbar. Then Amy rises, brings her head to the position in which they are usually carried; and she and Ginevra look into each other’s eyes. They always do this when they meet, though they meet several times a day, and it is worth doing, for what they see in those pellucid pools is love eternal. Thus they loved at school (in their last two terms), and thus they will love till the grave encloses them. These thoughts, and others even more beautiful, are in their minds as they gaze at each other now. No man will ever be able to say ‘Amy,’ or to say ‘Ginevra,’ with such a trill as they are saying it. - this book is very interesting to read as a play or a novel!
