Excerpt from The Strollers
Next day the critics referred to the scene with glow ing words, while in the coffee houses they discussed the proposition: Should an actress feel the emotion she portrays? With a cynical smile the marquis read the different accounts of the performance, when he and his companion found themselves in the old stage coach en route for Brighton. He felt no regret for his action - had not the Prince of Wales taught the gentlemen of his kingdom that it was fashionable to desert actresses? Had he not left the divine Perdita to languish, after snubbing her right royally in Hyde Park?
