And then also there were refreshments to be taken at the Keeper’s Lodge (sometimes called Price’s Lodge, from Gervase Price, a keeper), as we read in _Hide Parke_. RIDER. I wish your sillabub were nectar, Lady. MISTRESS BONAVENT. We thank you, sir, and here it comes already. _Enter_ MILKEMAIDE. MISTRESS JULIETTA. So, so, is it good milke? BON. Of a Red Cow. MISTRESS CAROLL. You talke as you inclin’d to a consumption. Is the wine good? Pepys mentions this Lodge and its refreshments more than once. “_June 3, 1668._ To the Park, where much fine company and many fine ladies, and in so handsome a hackney I was, that I believe, Sir W. Coventry and others who looked on me, did take me to be in one of my own, which I was a little troubled for: so to the Lodge and drank a cup of new milk, and so home.”--“_April 25, 1669._ Abroad with my wife in the afternoon to the Park, where very much company, and the weather very pleasant. I carried my wife to the Lodge, the first time this year, and there, in our coach, eat a cheese cake and drank a tankard of milk.” Not to know the Lodge was to show oneself of small account, as we see in a comedy called “The English Monsieur,” by the Hon. James Howard, son of the Earl of Berkshire, acted with much applause at the Theatre Royal, in 1674. “COMELY. Nay, ’tis no London female; she’s a thing that never saw Cheesecake, Tart, or Syllabub at the Lodge in Hyde Park.” According to Thomas Brown, of Shifnall, the ladies also partook of refreshment in their coaches, for he says,--“See, says my _Indian_, what a Bevy of Gallant Ladies are in yonder Coaches; some are Singing, others Laughing, others Tickling one another, and all of them Toying and devouring Cheese Cakes, March-Pane, and _China_ Oranges.”[23] And this in the sober days of William and Mary! About this time the name of “the Lodge” was generally dropped, and it was called the Cake House or Mince Pie House, until it was pulled down early middle of the century. It was situated nearly on the site of the present Receiving House of the Royal Humane Society, as is shown in a “Plan of Hyde Park, as it was in 1725. From a Plan of the Parish of St. George, Hanover Square, in the Vestry Room of that Parish.”[24] It was made of timber and plaster, and must have had a very picturesque look when the accompanying illustration was taken in 1826. The other view of it, in 1804, shows its surroundings in the Park. “The Cake House” furnished the title of one of Charles Dibdin’s table entertainments, first performed in 1800. Then too there were the Orange girls, whose vocation was not entirely confined to the theatres, [Illustration: CHEESECAKE HOUSE, 1826. Page 30. ]
