Reading Experience:

Evidence:

'I played the harpsichord most part of the evening. Then we began to read a play of Mr de Salis (made by him) entitled "L'Ecole aux Maris Malhonnetes". It is very badly wrote, in a very bad style, and not pretty at all it is so very ridiculous that we could not help laughing at hearing it read. I only heard two acts, we shall finish it tomorrow'. [the next day] 'We finished the play of Mr de Salis the end is worse than the beginning and it is very stupid'.
