"Mrs. Tanqueray has left town."
They talk of ALEXANDER
And Mrs. _Tanque-ray_,
Now who would raise my dander
Will just abuse that play.
For few there are
That can compare--
Well,--if so, give their names,--
With _Mrs. Tanque-ray_
Who has just gone away
From the Theatre of St. James.

Mrs. R. says that of all SHAKSPEARE'S plays produced at the Lyceum,
she liked _Henry the Eighth_ the best, because of the character of
_Cardinal Bullseye_, which Mr. IRVING played so sweetly.
