from The Manuscripts of the Marquess Townshend, page 246:
Letter from Lady Penelope Compton to Elizabeth Compton, Countess of Northampton, 19 December 1734
I hear the town is but empty but can’t tell much of that yet for [I] have seen but few folks nor have not picked up any news, only I find every body seems charmed with Faranelli [sic] so that the Opera’s are constantly crouded [sic].
