But the play is only to be read, and therefore home, with no pleasure at all, but only in sitting next to $Betty Hall=, that did belong to this house, and was $Sir Philip Howard='s mistress, a mighty pretty wench. <i>Evelyn, Diary</i>: I went to see the old play <i>Cataline</i> acted, having ben now forgotten 40 years almost.
