p. 390 _Ha! what do I see?_ cf. The incident in _The Plain Dealer_, IV, ii, of which there are obvious reminiscences here. Olivia, making love to Fidelia, who is dressed as a boy, is surprised by Vernish.

Her hair coming down during a hunting-party at Vincennes, she tied it up hastily with one of her garters. Louis XIV, whose mistress she was, so admired the result that he begged her to continue to wear her hair in the same way. This set the fashion, which soon spread into England and long remained popular. cf. Shadwell’s _Bury Fair_ (1689), II, ii: ‘_Milliner._ What d’ye lack, Ladies? fine Mazarine hoods, fontanges, girdles, sable tippets?’ p. 394 _Coventry-Blue._ A kind of blue thread manufactured at Coventry and formerly much used for embroidery, &c. cf. Greene’s _James IV_ (1592), IV, iii, where Slipper ordering a doublet cries: ‘Edge me the sleeves with Coventry blue.’ Ben Jonson, _Gipsies Metamorph._ (1621), speaks of ‘A skein of Coventry blue’. p. 395 _Tawdrums._ Fal-lals. cf. Marston’s _Dutch Courtezan_ (4to 1605), v, ‘no matter for lace and tawdrums’. * * * * * * * * * Cross-References from Critical Notes: _The Younger Brother_ p. 330 _Southampton Square._ .... _vide_ further, Vol. III, _The Town Fop_, p. 22, ‘Southampton House,’ and note on that passage (p. 476). _Town Fop_ text: meet me to morrow Morning about five, with your Sword in your Hand, behind _Southampton_ House _Town Fop_ note: _Southampton House._ Southampton House, Bloomsbury, occupied the whole of the north side of the present Bloomsbury Square. It had ‘a curious garden behind, which lieth open to the fields,’--_Strype_. A great rendezvous for duellists, cf. Epilogue to Mountfort’s _Greenwich Park_ (Drury Lane, 1691) spoken by Mrs. Mountfort:-- If you’re displeased with what you’ve seen to-night Behind Southampton House we’ll do you right; Who is’t dares draw ‘gainst me and Mrs. Knight? p. 333 _Wills’ Coffee-house._ _vide_ Vol. III, Preface, _The Lucky Chance_, p. 187, and note on that passage (p. 484). _Lucky Chance_ text: a Wit of the Town, a Friend of mine at Wills Coffee House _Lucky Chance_ note: _Wills Coffee House._ This famous coffee-house was No. 1 Bow Street, Covent Garden, on the west side corner of Russell Street. It derived its name from Will Unwin who kept it. The wits’ room was upstairs on the first floor. Some of its reputation was due to the fact that it was a favourite resort of Dryden.
