As I have since seen it acted, I shall defer my opinion of it till then; but I can't help mentioning here the surprising versatility of $Mrs Pritchard='s talents, who rehearsed, almost at the same time, the part of a furious <i>Queen</i>r in the Green-room, and that of a <i>Coquette</i>r on the stage; and passed several times from one to the other with the utmost ease and happiness. I dined with $Darrel=, saw <i>The Way of the World</i> afterward (<i>Edward Gibbon's Journal</i>, ed. $D. M. Lowe= (New York, n.d.) pp. 185-86). [Apparently Mrs Pritchard rehearsed <i>Millamant</i>r in the morning.]
