"Well," persisted Garrick, "you are sufficiently known, any way,
to get in again."
"Certainly. I can get in again. The man at the door will let me

"That is exactly what I mean," returned Garrick. "It's no use to
go early. I want to see the place in full blast, just as the
after-theatre crowd is coming in.
