The principal features of the fourth act are Ophelia's madness, and the return of her brother Laertes, from across the sea ; in this, Hamlet is not engaged. I was half-dozing in my dressing-room, when my attention was suddenly aroused by the most piercing cries, and hysterical shrieks ; I opened my door, and listened ; it was evi- dently the voice of Miss Walton. I rushed down stairs ; they were carrying her, shrieking, and tossing her arms wildly, to the Green-Eoom. Poor girl ! the COKALIE WAL...TON. 159 mimic madness of Ophelia had been fatal to her ; it had become a fearful reality ! The circumstances of Ophelia's story, Hamlet's abandonment, and her despair, she had made her own ; they had, in the earnestness of her acting, by a mysterious operation of the brain, been wrought up into a confused union with her own identity ; and though she repeated the text of her part correctly, and sang the touching snatches of song that rise up in Ophelia's love-lorn memory, she had lost all distinction between herself and the character she was playing.
