It's because of your concern for the welfare of your workers in the mills that I ventured to come and talk to you of how most of them live when they're at home," replied Siddons, as Janet thought, rather neatly. "Perhaps, though living in Hampton, you don't quite realize what the conditions are. I know a man who has lived in Boston ten years and who hasn't ever seen the Bunker Hill monument."
The expression, morbus pediculosus, as being better known would strike more." See ante, p. 79, note 1. See ante, p. 69. See ante, i. 402. See ante, i. 167. See post, under Sept. 30, 1783. See post, ib., where Johnson told Mrs. Siddons that 'Garrick was no declaimer. Foote died a month after this conversation. Johnson wrote to Mrs. Thrale: 'Did you see Foote at Brighthelmstone?
She looked at him keenly, out of her wonderful dark eyes, then curtsied with grave dignity "I thank you, sir," she said, and passed on. A few minutes after some underling of the theatre found us out and brought us, "by Mrs. Siddons' desire," to the best places the house could afford. It was a glorious night. At this distance of time, when I look back upon it my old blood leaps and burns.
The only man in the squadron who ever had a good word for Siddons, and now he was going down in flames while Siddons, supposedly his friend, was high-tailing it for home. With bitterest venom McGee thumbed his trigger releases as he caught a fleeting glimpse of the Albatross in the ring sight. But that German was not only courageous he was a consummate flyer.
The celebrated actress, Mrs. Scott Siddons, gave several recitals in the seventies, while a performance of Hamlet, given in 1879 by Lawrence Barrett, was received with the highest praise. His visit gave an impetus to dramatic affairs and led to the organization of a Barrett Club which gave a performance of Dollars and Cents in 1880 the first recorded amateur dramatic performance in the University.
The several actors who have been famed on earth appear at the theatres in Spring Garden. Garrick, Kean, Kemble, Booth, Vandenhoff, Cooke, Macready, Rachel, and Mrs. Siddons, visit us from time to time. Newland Maffit is at present a distinguished actor in the spirit world. People are fools in religion, and worship as divine the most stupid monstrosities ever conceived of!
Flora Mac-Ivor bore a most striking resemblance to her brother Fergus; so much so that they might have played Viola and Sebastian with the same exquisite effect produced by the appearance of Mrs. Henry Siddons and her brother, Mr. William Murray, in these characters.

And in a few days there were no more eggs and I could hear the hungry little nestlings making the minutest of fairy hullabaloos, the very finest spun silk of sound; a tremendous traffic in victual began and I was the trusted friend of the family. Then one morning I was filled with amazement and anguish.
Siddons, testified by the numerous striking portraits in which he has recorded their personal beauty and dramatic picturesqueness, led to a most intimate and close friendship between the great painter and the eminent actors, and, subsequently, to very painful circumstances, which estranged him for years from all our family, and forbade all renewal of the relations between himself and Mrs.
Siddons once more played the Queen, Kemble appearing as Wolsey. In 1822, Edmund Kean made his first appearance as Wolsey at Drury Lane, but the play was only given four times.
