Charles C.F. Greville in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire - between 10 January, 1834 and 12 January, 1834
from Journal entry, 26 January 1834, pages 49–50:
I left Belvoir on Friday, the 10th, and went to Mrs. Arkwright’s,* at Stoke, where I found nobody but her own family. I was well enough amused for two days with her original conversation and her singing, and her cousin, Miss Twiss, who, with a face of uncommon plainness and the voice of a man, is sensible and well informed.
*[Mrs. Arkwright was a Kemble by birth, and had much of the musical and dramatic genius of that gifted family. Her singing was most touching, and some of her musical compositions were full of originality and expression.]
