"I beseech you ! 'Tis not seemly, I beseech " Mistress Clorinda flung her woman from her and threw the brush at Mistress Wimpole, crying at her with the lordly rage she had been wont to shriek with when she wore breeches. "Damnation to thy seemliness!" she cried, "and to thee too! Get thee gone from me, both get thee gone from my sight!"
How could you? You'd never gone bathing with Mark; you'd never seen him stripped. He didn't swim. Could his doctor do it? Not unless he'd had some particular operation, and perhaps not then. But his dentists could at any time, always if he had been to his dentist fairly often. Hence Mr. Cartwright of Wimpole Street." Bill nodded thoughtfully and went back again to the letter. "I see.
She is a prisoner who is starved for real life, and stifles; the fresh air and the open sky are good, are irresistible and that is the whole long poem in brief. Such a small prisoner, all life and fire, was before many months actually delivered from her cage in Wimpole Street, and Robert Browning himself, growing in stature amid his incantations, played the part of the gipsy.
"Oh, Marion!" he gasped, "suppose he should? He won't, though," he added, but eying her eagerly and inviting contradiction. "He will," she answered, stoutly, "if he reads it." "The other managers read it," Carroll suggested, doubtfully. "Yes, but what do they know?" Marion returned, loftily. "He knows. Charles Wimpole is the only intelligent actor-manager in London."
"Sir Walter's gone down there. Wimpole has slipped us. He's half a mile down the other road. You're wrong... Are you deaf? You're wrong!" "I don't think I am," he panted, and ran on. "But I saw him!" I cried. "Look in front of you. Is that Wimpole? It's the old man... What are you doing? What are we to do?" "Keep running," said Grant.
Frank gave his companion the asked-for steady look, and smilingly laid his hand upon his breast. "Thankye, Ben Eddin. You always were a pleasant gentleman that it was a treat to have staying at Wimpole Street. Wimpole Street! Ha, ha, ha!" said Sam, laughing softly. "My word! how comic it does seem. What would they say in Wimpole Street if they could "

'Ever yours truly, In 1857 the Wimpole Theatre reopened with the same company and gave 'Sunshine through the Clouds' and 'Only a Halfpenny'; and in 1860 for the last time with 'The Jacobite' by Planche; a scene from 'King John'; and 'Helping Hands' by Tom Taylor.
"Then I need only tell you," Wimpole continued, "that I got up at an absurd hour this morning to read your play; that I did read it; that I like it immensely and that if we can come to terms I shall produce it I shall produce it at once, within a fortnight or three weeks." Carroll was staring at him intently and continued doing so after Wimpole had finished speaking.
The first night of the play justified all that Marion and Wimpole had claimed for it, and was a great personal triumph for the new playwright. The audience was the typical first-night audience of the class which Charles Wimpole always commanded. It was brilliant, intelligent, and smart, and it came prepared to be pleased.
It makes him a little irritable, so I don't think I'd ask him. He is enjoying the night ride, though." Sam sighed and said to himself "He says that because he wants to make the best of it, but I'm not going to believe my poor guv'nor's enjoying this. He's wishing himself back in Wimpole Street, I know." "What's that?" said Frank suddenly. "What? I see nothing." "No, no. I mean that wild cry."
