"The Piece, we understand, was originally founded on some topics that have of late engrossed the conversation of much of the fashionable world...The <i>Lord Chamberlain</i> thought [it] too delicate a nature to appear with the allusions and title it then bore, <i>She would be a Duchess</i>. The consequence was that the offensive bits were expunged and the piece re-christened...It would be unfair to make any observations...in the mutilated stage it was presented" (<i>Public Advertiser</i>, 15 Aug.). "Some part of the plot was supposed to allude to the late occurrences in the family of $General John? Gunning=, who was indulged with the privilege of erasing [from the MS] that which he disliked, and who reduced it to its present feeble and unconnected form" (<i>Gazetteer</i>, 15 Aug.). [The reference in the original title is to the simultaneous flirtation of $Miss Elizabeth Gunning=, the General's daughter, with the eldest sons of the $Dukes of Marlborough and Argyll= (see <i>dnb</i>, under $Susannah Gunning=). <i>She would be a Duchess</i>: in <i>Larpent MS 915</i>.]
