is nothing which Fletcher could have found sufficient to maintain that

[Sidenote: He'd have added to 'em.] He would have invented accessory
circumstances, he would have produced new characters, or thrust the less
important person[77:1]ages who now fill the stage, further into the
foreground, and more constantly into action: the one simple and
inartificial story which we have, possessing none of his mercurial
activity of motion, and scarcely exciting a feeling of curiosity, would
have been transformed into a complication of intrigues, amidst which the
figures who occupy the centre of the piece as it stands, would have been
only individuals sharing their importance with others, and scarcely
allowed room enough to make their features at all distinguishable.

[Sidenote: Shakspere's handling seen in certain scenes of _The Two Noble
Kinsmen_.]

In the management of particular scenes of this play, likewise, certain
circumstances are observable, which, separately, seem to go a certain
length in establishing Shakspeare's claim to the arrangement, and have
considerable force when taken together. [Sidenote: Act I. scene ii.
design'd by Shakspere.] The second scene of the first act would appear
to have been sketched by him rather than Fletcher, from its containing
no activity of incident, and serving no obvious purpose but the
development of the character and situation of the two princes; a mode of
preparation not at all practised by Fletcher. [Sidenote: Act I. scene
iii. also. And] Neither does any consequence flow from the beautiful
scene immediately following; a circumstance which points out Shakspeare
as having arranged the scene, and would strengthen the evidence of his
having written the dialogue, if that required any corroboration.
[Sidenote: Act V. scenes i. ii. iii. [? Emilia with the pictures.]] The
bareness and undiversified iteration of situation in the first three
scenes of the last act form one presumption against the devising of
those scenes by Fletcher. [Sidenote: Act V.

 complexity of minor adventures is inserted to interrupt the ease so

 continuity and stretch of pastime which he constantly thought necessary. 
 [ Sidenote: He'd have add to'em. ] He would have invented accessory 
 circumstances, he would have produce new characters, or force the less 
 authoritative person[77:1]ages who now fill the stage, further into the 
 foreground, and more constantly into action: the one elementary and 
 inartificial story which we have, possessing none of his erratic 
 activity of motion, and barely exciting a feeling of curio, would 
 have been transformed into a complicatedness of intrigues, amidst which the 
 figures who occupy the centre of the musical composition as it stands, would have been 
 only individuals sharing their importance with others, and scarcely 
 admit room enough to make their features at all distinguishable.
