Sanderson, of Davenant's company, at Lincoln's Inn Fields, is erroneous: and indeed the name of the first English actress is as much unknown as the name of the first Portia. When Macklin restored Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice to the stage it is not likely that the character of Portia was dwarfed, for its representative then was Kitty Clive, and that actress was a person of strong will.
Miss Mackenzie speaks more respectfully of other people's eyes and hair. She thinks there is nobody in the world to compare to Miss Newcome. And you, mon ami? This is the last time, entendez-vous? You must never come here again. If M. le Comte knew it he never would pardon me. Encore? Clive. A good action gains to be repeated. Miss Newcome, does the view of the courtyard please you?
A raft was launched on the water which filled one part of the ditch. Clive, perceiving that his gunners at that post did not understand their business, took the management of a piece of artillery himself, and cleared the raft in a few minutes.
Clive turned and stared for a moment in the direction I pointed in. "You are right," he responded. "Meer Jaffier, of course! Well, since he has put off his assistance so long, he shall see how little we needed it!" A thrill of fresh energy seemed to sweep through him as he began issuing his orders for the final charge.
Maxima debetur puero reverentia. Give him my compliments. I don't know his highly respectable name. His highly respectable name," says Clive, cracking with laughter "those were his very words. 'And inform him that I am an orphan myself in needy circumstances' he said he was in needy circumstances; 'and I heartily wish he'd adopt me."
Uncle Brian is staying at Aix. He is recovered from his attack. And, upon my conscience, I think my pretty cousin looks prettier every day. "When they are not in London," Clive goes on to write, "or I sometimes think when Barnes or old Lady Kew are not looking over them, they are quite different. You know how cold they have latterly seemed to us, and how their conduct annoyed my dear old father.
"So; 'twas his scheme, not yours?" "Egad, sir, I've no head for that sort of thing," said Killpatrick with a laugh. "Give me a company, and a wall to scale or a regiment to charge, and " "My dear fellow," interrupted Clive, "we all know the king has no better officer.
Clive, in a great rage, folding his arms, and glaring round on a number of the most innocent young swells; and he continued looking as if he would like to knock a dozen of their heads together. "Am I keeping Miss Newcome's admirers from her?" "That is not for me to say," she said, quite gently. He was; but to see him angry did not displease Miss Newcome.
Clive mentions that, at the same time, all the other outposts and batteries, except those on the river side, were withdrawn. Another French account puts the total of the French garrison at 489, but this probably excludes many of the private people. On the 15th the English established themselves in the town, and drove out the Moors who had been stationed on the roofs of the houses.
I remember when I thought I would like to be Ethel's knight, and that if there was anything she would have me do, I would try and achieve it in order to please her. I remember when I was so ignorant I did not know there was any difference in rank between us. Ethel. Ah, Clive! Clive. Now it is altered. Now I know the difference between a poor painter and a young lady of the world.
