Afterpiece Title: 1 The Devil to Pay

Event Comment: 1 GGeneral Advertiser: Mademoiselle Violette humbly begs leave to acquaint the Publick, that she is very much concern'd to hear that she is charg'd with having been the occasion of the Noise at the Playhouse in Drury Lane on Wednesday night. That she was entirely ignorant that three Dances had been advertised, until it was too late to prepare herself; and as she cannot possibly be guilty of any Intention to disoblige, or give offence to an English Audience (from whom she has receiv'd so much Applause) she presumes to hope they will not impute to her a fault which she is not capable of committing, and especially where she has met with so much indulgence, for which she retains all possible gratitude
