In our practices we found such a total want of Business and Incidents to carry on the story from one scene to another were obliged to call the good natured Mr Colman to our aid, as we could get no assistance from the Author, Mr Love, who seems not to have the least genius in contriving any thing of that Kind.-The whole day spent till eleven o'clock that night in [a word illegible] and everbody threw in their mite, and made it as well as the short time would allow (Hopkins Diary-MacMillan) .
