Excerpt from Fifty Years of an Actors̓ Life, Vol. 2 Those who knew him best were wont to maintain that under his austere exterior lay depths of tenderness and sweetness and a heart Of gold, and it is certain that he was a devoted son, an affectionate brother, a model husband and father, He was all these and more out of the theatre; but in it he was dogmatic, opinionated, impatient of contradiction, domineering, and autocratic, irascible, atrabilarious, and overbearing. Hence even to those grounded in their art he was a constant source of irritation and annoyance, while to the ignorant, the indolent, and incompetent he was not only a torture, but an ever-abiding terror.

In that faith I have lived and worked earnestly and sincerely. It is an old-fashioned and out-oi - date creed in these self asserting days, but in the autumn of one's career it is too late to change, and it follows as a matter of course that I am not one of those who consider their lives, their doings or their thoughts of general or public interest.
