Evidence: | Colley Cibber to Samuel Richardson, 27 May 1750:
'I have just finished the sheets [of Clarissa] you favoured me with [...] I have not patience, till I know what's become of her [...] What piteous, d----d, disgraceful, pickle have you plunged her in? For God's sake send me the sequel [...] My girls are all on fire and fright to know what can possibly become of her.' |
