[21] Not often does a dramatist succeed in making real and supposed time agree as well as does Sir Arthur Pinero in Act III of _The Gay Lord Quex_. From seven to nine pages of absorbing action come between one chiming of the quarter hour and the next. Though a stopwatch would quickly reveal the somewhat disordered condition of that boudoir clock, an auditor, absorbed in the action of the moment, merely feels his tension increase if he notes the pa.s.sing of time.
