The house next to their old one in Kyd Street suddenly collapsed one day and was reduced to a heap of rubbish, but fortunately no one was hurt.
Had he arrived in Calcutta a few days earlier than he did, he would have been appointed to the place for which sheer poverty led him to apply, in the Company's Botanical Garden, established on the right bank of the Hoogli a few miles below Calcutta, by Colonel Alexander Kyd, for the collection of indigenous and acclimatisation of foreign plants.
We had no opium in the ship, this time, it being out of season; but we smuggled cargo in, as before. We lay at Whampao a few weeks, and returned to Calcutta.

"I umpired a whole afternoon once for a village school at home, and they stood me a bottle of hot ginger beer." "I compromised on a halfpenny a sticky one or I'd have hurt their feelings," said Pigeon gravely. "But I gave 'em sixpence back."
Greene's best plays are in Mermaid Series. What are the merits of Lyly's dialogue and comedy? What might Shakespeare have learned from Lyly, Peele, Greene, and Kyd?
