I therefore request you will send my play back by my servant; for, having been assured of having it acted at the other house, though I confess yours in every respect more to my wish, yet it would be folly in me to forego an advantage which lies in my power of appealing from Mr. Colman's opinion to the judgment of the town.
'Dingdong Tintinabulary chimes, used metaphorically to signify dispatch and vehemence. BOSWELL. In all the editions that I have examined the sentence in the text beginning with 'annexed, and ending with 'concatenation, is printed as if it were Boswell's. It is a quotation from vol. ii. p. 93 of Colman's book. For Scrub, see ante, iii. 70, note 2. See ante, iii. 173.
Colman assumed that Johnson had maintained that Shakespeare was totally ignorant of the learned languages. He then quotes a line to prove 'that the author of The Taming of the Shrew had at least read Ovid; and continues: 'And what does Dr. Johnson say on this occasion? Nothing. And what does Mr. Farmer say on this occasion? Nothing. Colman's Terence, ii. 390. For Farmer, see ante, iii. 38.
That is a peril a sensible person does not seek." "I did not seek it," cried Jane and then she halted and flushed. "Good-by, Jane," said Selma, waving her hand and moving away rapidly. She called back "On ne badine pas avec l'amour!" She went straight to Colman's cottage to Victor, lying very pale with his eyes shut, and big Tom Colman sitting by his bed.
"Talk to him as you would to me," replied Charlton. "He is a sensible man. I've already told him pretty much everything. It has kept him from fretting, to be able to lie there quietly and make his plans." Had you looked in upon Victor and Selma, in Colman's little transformed parlor, you would rather have thought Selma the invalid.
These were dangerous moments, for the pit began to take umbrage; but we carried our point through, and triumphed not only over Colman's judgment, but our own." Much of this statement has been condemned as exaggerated or discolored. Cumberland's memoirs have generally been characterized as partaking of romance, and in the present instance he had particular motives for tampering with the truth.
He could not understand why he should have been called upon to notice such a trifle; but the tailor had his reasons. He wanted to be able to prove by Colman's testimony that the blotted bill was actually put into his hands by Luke Harrison. "Is that the bill you spoke of, Walton?" asked the tailor, on Harry's next visit to the shop. "Yes," said Harry, eagerly. "Where did you get it?"
Colman's motives, at once the most strange and the most uncharitable, a perversion of all just views of his conduct and intentions the most unaccountable, to represent him as acting, on this occasion, in hostility to any one, or as desirous of injuring or endangering any one. He has stated his own motives, and his own conduct, in a manner to command universal belief and universal respect.
Her ode on Colman's death expressed the feeling of her soul in the verse: "The spirit of love from on high The hearts of the righteous hath fired; Lo! they come, and with transport they cry, 'We will go where our brother expired, And labour and die."
On the 19th of September I heard Mr. Whitefield preach in Dr. Colman's church. I am more and more pleased with the man. On the 21st, heard him preach in the Commons to about ten thousand people. On Monday, visited him, and had some conversation to my great satisfaction. On the 23d, went to hear him preach in Mr. Webb's church, but the house was crowded before Mr. Whitefield came.
