uchess of Richmond=, $Lady Harcourt=,...$Mrs Damer=, $Lord Craven=,...and I were
 with her.  It was amazing to see so young a woman entirely possess herself-but 
there is such an integrity and frankness in her consciousness of her own beauty 
and talents, that she speaks of them with a naivete as if she had no property in
 them, but only wore them as gifts of the gods.  Lord Craven on the contrary was
 quite agitated by his fondness for her and with impatience at the bad performan
ce of the actors, which was wretched indeed, yet the address of the plot, which 
is the chief merit of the piece, and some lively pencilling carried it off very 
well, though $Parsons= murdered the +Scotch lord=r, and $Mrs Robinson= (who is s
upposed to be the favourite of the $Prince of Wales=) thought on nothing but her
 own charms, or him.  There is a very good though endless prologue written by Sh
eridan and spoken in perfection by King, which was encored (an entire novelty) t
he first night: and an epilogue that I liked still better and which was full as 
well delivered by $Mrs Abington=, written by Mr. Jekyl.  The audience, though ve
ry civil, missed a fair opportunity of being gallant, for in one of those ----lo
gues, I forget which, the noble authoress was mentioned, and they did not applau
d as they ought to have done, especially when she condescended to avow her prett
y child and was there looking so very pretty...Yet Lady Craven's tranquillity ha
d nothing displeasing;...and it was tempered by her infinite good nature, which 
made her make excuses for the actors instead of being provoked at them"  ($Walpo

must not savour of trick.  You must hear his insinuations with curses, and yet c

re equally succesful; and in the latter Rauzzini was surprisingly great, both as
 composer and performer...$Slingsby= would, in our opinion, have come out with a

topped short when he was in the very climax of his exertions.  The scenes are in
 the rural stile, with the addition of natural trees, flowering shrubs, &c., set
 in the neatest order...The company did not begin to move till about four, and b
