Such was the comedy of " The Careless Hus- band, " which afforded such infinite pleasure to the playgoers of the last century. As Lady Betty Modish, Peg Woffington's acting was a perfect and vivacious study of which the public never tired. The grace and variety of her movements, the saucy turn of her head, the impatient tapping of her foot upon the floor, the opening and shut- ting of her fan, the bend of her shapely body — afforded delight. In the season of 1756-57, we find her playing Helena ...in "The Rover;" the Frenchified Lady in the tragedy of " Theodosius ; " Mrs. Ford in "The Merry Wives of Windsor;" the Queen in 122 PEG WOFFINGTON "Hamlet;" and Charlotte in "The Refusal. " In each of these she won applause. An anony- mous contemporary critic, speaking of her, says : " She first steals your heart, and then laughs at you, as secure of your applause. There is such a prepossession arises from her form ; such a witchcraft in her beauty ; and to those who are personally acquainted with her, such an absolute command from the sweetness of her disposition — that it is almost impossible to criticise upon her.
