But the incidents are of so obstreperous a kind, that this must have been an acci- dent. With such performers, the whole must have been, a most entertaining spectacle. We could wish to see it revived by Irving and Miss Terry, not' in this maimed farcical shape, but in the poetical form of the original, where Sly's vision offers one of the most dramatic contrasts conceivable. Another passage occurred between the pair in the fol- lowing year (1755), during the performance of " The- Double Dealer,..." and which, Davies tell us, " caused such repeated laughter in the theatre as I scarcely ever heard" — no great test of anything very humorous ; as the moving of audiences to laughter are often regulated by Swift's receipt, viz.: — the pulling away a chair when a person is about. to sit down. Mrs. Clive, who performed Lady- Froth, had by mistake, or in a hurry, laid on more rouge than usual; and Brushy the valet, played by Woodward, instead of saying "Your coachman, having a red face/* said " Your ladyship has a red face" This was no sooner uttered, than peals of laughter were redoubled all over the theatre.
