It was one of a small edition Dr. Bright had printed up the year before, with the abundant title, Charactery: An Art of Short, Swift, and Secret Writing.

"I ken that, but—" "Let me finish, then ask questions. When you go to London, you will attend a performance of a play called The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. You will copy it in Dr. Bright's 'charactery' and you will deliver it to me. Now. Any questions?"

I had failed even to make fruitful use of the one skill I did possess—the art of charactery.

Without thinking, I wrote them in Dr. Bright's charactery.

When I came out to L.A., there was this vibe that if you were an actress you would either play the “pretty girl” or the “charactery” one.
