About this book
Memoirs of Joseph Grimaldi is edited by Boz and has illustrations by George Cruikshank. Chapter VII, marked 1798 to 1801, is summed up as covering the partiality of George the Third for theatrical entertainments, Sheridan's kindness to Grimaldi, the production of Harlequin Amulet as a new era in pantomime, and pigeon-fancying and wagering.
The text tells of Grimaldi finding John Kemble at the theatre and briefly stating his case, pointing out that he was engaged by his articles at Drury to play in last pieces at and after Easter, but not in pantomime, and that at Sadler's Wells he was bound to perform in the first piece. The text tells of a coach journey in which, at four o'clock in the morning, when they stopped to change horses, a customer for an inside place presented himself, whereupon the driver, opening the coach-door, civilly reminded Bologna of the conditions upon which he held his seat.
