Event Comment: At the Desire of Several Distinguished People of Quality. TThos. Newton to Garrick: All that we wanted was to see more of your face and the expressions of your countenance; and therefore beg you will remember to secure for us that stage-box, where we may see your looks in the scene with Lady Ann, and as you lie upon the couch, that is, that we may sit with the stage on our right hand, and the pit on our left.-Boaden, Private Correspondence of Garrick, I, 3-4
