This is their last chance to see Irving as Digby Grant. They have both been ill - Sir Theodore with influenza and bronchitis. Is there a box for Thursday evening and could they come through Irving's private entrance to save waiting in a draught? Did Irving get her privately printed Juliet letters sent from Brighton a month ago? The Brighton post is probably to blame. |
