How an Aside Is Marked

Captions available

The idea

The word aside appears in brackets beside the speech, before or after it. Sheridan's School for Scandal carries more than thirty. The bracket is editorial apparatus in the sense of amendment V-9, and it is also the only signal a reader gets.

In practice

A bracket, and nothing else.

Where people slip

Apparatus, and the only signal.
