Event Comment: The Duke's Company. If The Royal Shepherdess was acted six days consecutively, the interruption of its run for this day is due to the tradition of the company's not regularly acting on Wednesday and Fridays in Lent.

But it is but a sorry play, and the worse by how much my head is out of humour by being a little sleepy and my legs weary since last night
