Peg Woffington And Christie Johnstone PDF Download

Excerpt from Peg Woffington, Christie Johnstone, and Other Stories He slumbered, but uneasily the dramatic author was uppermost, and his Demon of the Hayloft hung upon the thread of popular favor. On his uneasy slumber entered from the theatre Mrs. Triplet. She was a lady who in one respect fell behind her husband; she lacked his variety in ill-doing, but she re covered herself by doing her one thing a shade worse than he did any of his three. She was what is called in grim Sport an actress; She had just cast her mite of discredit on royalty by playing the Queen, and had trundled home the moment the breath was out of her royal body. She came in rotatory with fatigue, and fell, gristle, into a chair; she wrenched from her brow a diadem and eyed it with contempt.
