Excerpt from Delicate Ground; Or Paris in 1793: A Comic Drama, in One Act "Delicate Ground," is one of those light, summery pieces which are most happily presented to the American Public, from a French origin and through an English medium by one of the deft-handed play-wrights with which London abounds. The plot is neat and simple, arranged with great verbal dexterity, and so disposed as to satisfy the sentiment of the audience, distributing "equal and exact" justice to all the personages of the drama.
