Milwood, who at a later hour refuses to leave, unless he will cut off satin enough, to make her a robe. Great distress! but, at a happy moment, a virtuous porter arrives, who, on hearing the circumstances, and perhaps having seen the tragedy, lays hold of the lady, who had no more drapery about her than Lady Godiva, claps her into a sack, carries her off, and shoots her into a cart full of grains, standing unguarded. The naughty person is suffocated, if I remember rightly; but the honour of the apprentice is saved!! "George Barnwell" brought domestic tragedy into fashion, and Charles Johnson closed his dramatic career with "Coelia, or the perjured Lover," which was a warning to young ladies. Coelia has a _bad_ and a _good_ lover,--warring principles! She prefers the former, with ruin for a consequence. He lodges her in a bagnio, where she is swept up by the watch, in the arrest of all the inmates, and taken to Bridewell. Thence her very heavy father takes her home, while the good lover kills the bad one in a duel; but the latter politely requests that the avenger will consider Coelia as having been his lawful wife. The lady, however, dies in her father's arms; the curtain comes down with a "tag," and then on tripped the epilogue, to ridicule all those present who were disposed to profit by the moral of the drama! Theophilus Cibber's "Lover" was a sort of pendant to the "Nonjuror,"--Granger being in the habit of going regularly to church, and daily breaking the ten commandments. The only enjoyment the audience had,--who fought for or against the piece till blood flowed abundantly,--was in the epilogue, in which Mrs. Theophilus Cibber smartly satirised the failings of her lord! The audience relished it amazingly.
