The other shook his head and examined his possession closely. "How do you do it?" he inquired.

A) "Hold it up in your right hand, and wish aloud," said the Sergeant-Major, "But I warn you of the consequences."

B) "Sounds like the 'Arabian Nights,'" said Mrs. White, as she rose and began to set the supper. "Don't you think you might wish for four pairs of hands for me."

C) Her husband drew the talisman from his pocket, and all three burst into laughter as the Sergeant-Major, with a look of alarm on his face, caught him by the arm.

D) "If you must wish," he said gruffly, "Wish for something sensible."

Mr. White dropped it back in his pocket, and placing chairs, motioned his friend to the table. In the business of supper the talisman was partly forgotten, and afterward the three sat listening in an enthralled fashion to a second installment of the soldier's adventures in India.

What is a major difference between modern audience and audiences during shakespear time
myrzilka [38]
During Shakespeare time which was in the 16th century aka 1500’s was that there was a “social class” type of audience sequence where the queen would sit in the “best seat” so everyone could see her. There would be a gentleman’s room only for men to have a good view. The normal or more underclass people would sit on the floor leaning against the stage. Basically everything depended on your royalty in some type of way. Modern day today it all depends on how much your ticket cost to see where you sit
