"Why didn't they make a pinch? Ain't there nobody watchin' now?" "Naw. They ain't got nothin' on us. Say, the Chief can put them fellers just where he wants 'em. See the paper this morning? That was some raid up at the joint eh?" "You bet. That Garrick's a pretty smooth chap. But the Chief can put it all over him." "Yep," agreed the other speaker.
"You've suggested the precise idea, Marshall, by your very objection," broke in Garrick, who up to this time had been silent as to his own plan. "I've a brand-new system of espionage. Trust it to me, and you can all have your way." I found it difficult to share Garrick's optimism, however.
And she afterwards added, that she bid you tell me, that if ever I came to Lichfield, she hoped I would take a bed at the Friery. From thence I drove to Peter Garrick's, where I also found a very flattering welcome. He appeared to me to enjoy his usual chearfulness; and he very kindly asked me to come when I could, and pass a week with him. From Mr. Garrick's, I went to the Palace to wait on Mr.
The play was afterwards translated into German, and performed at Vienna with notable success. On the death of Garrick in 1779, Hannah More broke off attendance at the theatre. Garrick's widow sought relief and solace in Hannah's company, and for many years a close friendship was kept up between the two ladies, although there could be but little intercourse on religious matters, Mrs.

He was a "tremendous companion," said Garrick's brother; and men of gentle nature, like Charles Fox, often shrank from his company, and perhaps exaggerated his brutality. Johnson, who had long regarded conversation as the chief amusement, came in later years to regard it as almost the chief employment of life; and he had studied the art with the zeal of a man pursuing a favourite hobby.
Green, in getting together, in his situation, so great a variety of things; and Mr. Green told me that Johnson once said to him, 'Sir, I should as soon have thought of building a man of war, as of collecting such a museum. Mr. Green's obliging alacrity in shewing it was very pleasing. We drank tea and coffee at Mr. Peter Garrick's, where was Mrs. Aston, one of the maiden sisters of Mrs.
Is not is not my George good and kind?" sobs Theo. "Look at my Hagan how great, how godlike he was in his part!" gasps Maria. "It was a beastly cabal which threw him over and I could plunge this knife into Mr. Garrick's black heart the odious little wretch!" and she grasps a weapon at her side.
He had, so Johnson declared, given away more money than any man in England. After Garrick's death, Johnson took occasion to say, in the Lives of the Poets, that the death "had eclipsed the gaiety of nations and diminished the public stock of harmless pleasures." Boswell ventured to criticise the observation rather spitefully. "Why nations? Did his gaiety extend further than his own nation?"
Albans," was born near the spot thus marked. Each remembered the irresponsible chatter of Saturday, but neither alluded to it, nor did Medenham offer to lead Cynthia to Garrick's birthplace. Not forty-eight hours, but long years, as measured by the seeming trivialities that go to make or mar existence, spanned the interval between Bristol and Hereford.
