The other day , I again , put the great work into my bills , but this time , Sir , I had to pander to the degeneracy of the public taste . The change that has swept over the drama will best be appreciated by a perusal of the two bills of necessary properties supplied on each occasion . There is a silent eloquence in the comparison , which compels me to feel that / can say no more 1 Sir , I can remember the days — !
