The real spectacle is not there, but in the green-room, transformed for the nonce into a hall of green cloth or gaming saloon.
The passage was promptly hissed, and Garrick returned to the green-room, where the author was solacing himself with a bottle of champagne. "What is the matter, Garrick?" said he to the flustered actor; "what are they hissing now?"
The eyes of the conquered Princess looked again at the people in the gallery, but the eyes she wanted to see did not meet hers. An hour later Maggie Oliphant had occasion to go back to the forsaken green-room to fetch a bracelet she had left there. Priscilla was standing in the corridor when she passed.
MACHIAVEL entered the green-room, intending to wait for Mrs. Woffington, and carry out the second part of his plan. He knew that weak minds cannot make head against ridicule, and with this pickax he proposed to clear the way, before he came to grave, sensible, business love with the lady. Machiavel was a man of talent.
Marquis, I have come to ask of you a service that one gentleman never refuses to another. Mlle. Zerbine has probably related to you something of what took place in the green-room this evening.

We have preserved, in an inventory of 1403, the description of tapestried rooms where Charles may have played in childhood. A room of gold, silk and worsted, with a device of little children in a river, and the sky full of birds. A room of green tapestry, showing a knight and lady at chess in a pavilion. Another green-room, with shepherdesses in a trellised garden worked in gold and silk.
Hoare had been so charmed with the boy's drawings, that he proposed to send him to Italy with his own son. On the other hand, he had been a frequent visitor in the green-room of the Bath Theatre.
