scheme which he and Miss W. had planned together, entirely against my wishes, but it not succeeding, he returned to Dublin on the same day you arrived at Belfast, and I from Kilkenny.
I supposed you then intended to return to England, but to my surprise you engaged for the winter season in Dublin. I now come to that period which I consider as the total destruction of my peace, and ultimately my fortune.
As if your passion for Mr.G. had overcome all considerations for propriety, you never suffered him to be from your side, he spent all the day and half the night with you, scarcely ever returning home sooner than one, two, and sometimes three in the morning.
Provoked beyond all patience at such conduct I remonstrated in the warmest manner to Mr. G. and, though in milder terms, to Miss W. and even to yourself. I told both you and her that though I believed Mr. G. to be in very good company, yet that I could not be content at his entirely abandoning his home; you seemed vexed at what I said, but notwithstanding pursued the fame conduct.
One circumstance I must not omit: you were very ill for about a week, the nature of your illness I am to this day ignorant of. I visited you as often as I thought was proper during your confinement, but Mr. G. as usual lived with you.
One evening sending to enquire after your health, I received for answer you were extremely ill, upon which I proposed to accompany Mr. G. to you, who then happened to be at home; I found you indeed very ill, and sat the whole evening with you, but what was my surprise the next day to receive a note from

Miss .W. forbidding me to come any more while you was ill, as the conversation of two persons was too much for your spirits, but desiring Mr. G. might come by himself. Never can I forget the indignation I felt on reading this note. I told Mr. G. that I considered it a direct insult and if he complied with it, by going, I would believe he had caused it to be written. I must do him the justice to say he did not go to you, on my promising I would not resent the circumstance.
The next time I saw Mils W. I coolly told her she might be certain I should never again go to Mrs. Siddons uninvited; she made something like an apology for her note, and so it rested.

About this time Mr. Kemble became partner with Mr. Harris, you then asked me if I would like an engagement at Covent Garden theatre; my answer you cannot forget. I said that I should not like it, as it was impossible I could be as well situated there as in Dublin; Mr. G. seemed transported at the suggestion, and by continual persuasion obtained, from me a forced consent to accept an engagement at Covent Garden, if you could get it for me; by this time your engagements ending in Dublin, you had no further excuse for staying there, you therefore made an engagement with a Mr. Pero, who had taken Astley's Amphitheatre in Cork, to perform at the spring assizes ; and as you said you feared to travel through the country of Ireland, requested Mr.G. might accompany you
Our horses were sent for from the country, where they had been during the winter, our carriage (which had been almost worn out in your service), put in repair, and every thing made
