Down the aisle troop white wigged men and from the boxes come cries of op- probrium. Everything is wild, and the riot is quelled by Peggy herself, who comes before the curtain demanding the name of the instigator of such dastardly demonstration. Cavendish is denounced, and he, in turn, lays the blame on Eva Sorel, who has promised him G25 to do her dirty work. Peggy now sees David in box with Eva So- rel. All is once more peace and when the forest of Arden is shown Peggy is so weak she can hardly speak her lines. Seeing David Garrick, she forgets ev- erything save that she is dying for love of him and falls in swoon, calling his name.

The rest of the company, was placed all over the house, and when the riot did take, place the real audience was part of the mock one of London.
