Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Annals of the English Stage, Vol. 2: Or, Their Majesties´ Servants Artists who have been wont to look into the "Vicar of Wakefield," "Gil Bias," and last century comedies, for picturesque subjects, would find account in referring to the lives of our actresses. Here is not a bad picture of its class. The time is at the close of the seventeenth century; the scene is at the Mitre Tavern in St. James´s Market, kept by one Mrs. Voss. It is a quiet summer evening, and after the fatigues of the day are over, and before the later business of the night has commenced, that buxom lady is reclining in an easy chair, listening to a fair and bright young creature, her sister, who is reading aloud, and is enjoying what she reads. Her eyes, like Kathleen´s in the song, are beaming with light, her face glowing with intelligence and feeling. Even an elderly lady, their mother, turns away from the picture of her husband, who had ridden in the Guards, and held a commission under James II.
