After tea, at seven o’clock, I set off home, in a dull dripping evening, and was return’d, going my best speed, in 50 minutes. I then bethought me of the playhouse; and to it I went; more barnish misery exists not; the company seem starving: one fiddle―and 13 candles composed our music and lights. I could not laugh; I could not cry; or stay more than two acts. Except the pronunciation the acting was of the nature of the lordly theatres. Three acts, only, were finish'd at 9 o'clock. |
