Hendrik Conscience : The Poor Gentleman

'Attended the reading of The Poor Gentleman & was very pleased with the gentlemanly manners of most of the Amateurs. Agreed to play Gruff old Humphrey Dobbin and suppose I must do it. It is not a pleasing character to sustain, but if Sir Richard Bramble is up in his part & gives the Cue well, every word Dobbin says is a Growl & if Dobbin growls well every sentence he speaks is a point.'

Century: 1850-1899     Reader/Listener/Group: men     Print: Book
