men and shameless women and Catharine's merry
husband insuted and outraged her in every possible
way until she consented to receive those worthless
creatures as her very good friends and to degrade
herself By their companionship. A Mrs Palmer,
whom the King made lady Castlemaine, and after
wards Duchess of Cleveland. was one of the most
powerful OF the bad women about the Court, ar l
had great influence with the King nearly all through
his reign. Another merry lady, named Mol Davis,
dancer at the theatre, was afterwards iher rival
so was Nell Gwynn; first an orange girl and then an
actress, who really had some good in her, and of
whom one of the worst things know, is, that she
actually does seem to have been fond of the King.
The first Duke ST. Adams was this orange girls
child. In like manner, the son OF merry waiting
lady, whom the King created Duchess of Ports.
mouth, became the Duke Richmond. Upon the
whole, 1t is not so bad thing to be commoner :"
