About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1827 edition. Excerpt: ...blue eyes, and glowing complexion, her innocent voice, and engaging smile, might have suited "the prettiest low-born lass that ever Ran on the green-sward." She seemed born to wear little white hats wreathed with flowers, and'jackets laced tightly to her small trim waist, to weave chaplets, tie up nosegays, and twist garlands round her crook. Our dramatis person(r) now wanted only the two daughters of Urania to be complete. These two daughters might almost have passed pour des personnages muets. They had scarcely ten lines between them; any body might have filled such parts, and yet the filling them nearly overset our play. They had been overlooked at first, being really too unimportant to attract attention, and remained for two or three days totally forgotten; till Zenobie, our clever dunce, and Charlo tte, one of our managing Triad (her sister Catharine was ill, or she would have manoeuvred for all three), took a fancy to act them, and immediately preferred a petition to that effect, which was readily granted. Nothing could equal the consternation of their mama elect when she heard this intelligence. To be a mama at all was bad enough; but to have one daughter taller than herself, and another, who, though not so tall, looked like an old fairy, was not to be endured. She flew to Miss R. Miss R. was sorry, but she had promised. She remonstrated, coaxed, argued, threatened, talked of resigning, did resign; still no relaxation. The whole house was split into factions; all who knew any thing of acting felt with poor Urania, that the grouping required absolute children; all who did not, sided with the popular favourites Zenobie and Charlotte. At last, after the manager's firmness and the prima donna's obstinacy had been well tried, after.
