p. 334 _his Third Day._ _vide_ Vol. III, Preface, _The Lucky Chance_, p. 187, and note on that passage (p. 484). _Lucky Chance_ text: I will be kinder to my Brothers of the Pen, than they have been to a defenceless Woman; for I am not content to write for a Third day only. _Lucky Chance_ note: _write for a Third day only._ The whole profits of the third day’s performance went to the author of the play; and upon these occasions his friends and patrons would naturally rally to support him. There are numberless allusions to this custom, especially in Prefaces, Prologues and Epilogues. p. 334 _old Adam._ _vide_ Vol. I, _The Rover_, Part II, p. 133, and note on that passage (p. 446). _Rover II_ text: For your parts, who are the poor dependent, brown Bread and old Adam’s Ale is only current amongst ye _Rover II_ note: _old Adam’s Ale._ A very ancient colloquialism for water. In Scotland ‘Adam’s wine’ and frequently merely ‘Adam’. Prynne in his _Sovereign Power of Parliament_ (1648), speaks of prisoners ‘allowed only a poor pittance of Adam’s ale.’ cf. Peter Pindar (John Wolcot), _The Lousiad_, Canto ii, ll. 453-4:-- Old Adam’s beverage flows with pride From wide-mouthed pitchers in a plenteous tide.] p. 394 _this Tour._ cf. ‘your false Towers’, _The False Count_, I, ii (Vol. III, p. 116), and note on that passage (p. 480). _False Count_ text: you must be a Lady, and have your Petticoats lac’d four Stories high; wear your false Towers, and cool your self with your _Spanish_ Fan _False Count_ note: _Towers._ The tower at this time was a curled frontlet of false hair. cf. Crowne’s _The Country Wit_ (1675), Act II, ii, where Lady Faddle cries to her maid, ‘run to my milliner’s for my gloves and essences ... run for my new towre.’ Shadwell, _The Virtuoso_ (1676), Act III, mentions ‘Tires for the head, locks, tours, frouzes, and so forth’. _The Debauchee_ (1677), Act II, i: Mrs. Saleware speaks of buying ‘fine clothes, and tours, and Points and knots.’ _The Younger Brother_ (1696), Act V, the last scene, old Lady Youthly anxiously asks her maid, ‘is not this Tour too brown?’ During the reign of Mary II and particularly in the time of Anne a Tower meant almost exclusively the high starched head-dress in vogue at that period. * * * * * * * * * Errors and Irregularities: The Younger Brother In the Notes, alternation between .’ and ‘. at paragraph-end is as printed.
