Do they have improbably good manners, or am I misjudging what people were like? I was always taught not to applaud in church, but can't help noticing that people, including those no longer young, do so all the time. Wouldn't some of the audience have clapped at the end, even if they stopped in embarrassment, realizing it was not a general thing?
And come to think of it, what beautiful manners Patrick and Rowan show in giving up their seats even though they have presumably been waiting for ages for the play to start. It seems highly untoward for the church to have sold more tickets than they have seats.
