       |  _and after that to the Theatre, where was acted "Beggars' Bush,"
       | it being very well done; and here the first time that ever I saw
       | women come upon the stage._

       |  _Thence-setting all them at home, I home with my wife and
       | Mercer, vexed at my losing my time and above 20s. in money, and
       | neglecting my business to see so bad a play. To-morrow they told
       | us should be acted, or the day after, a new play, called "The
       | Parson's Dreame," acted all by women._

         | It's crazy that it took so long for women to walk upon the
         | stage, but even crazier, that once they did, they put on entire
         | plays acted by only women in such short a time.

         | It's like declaring a bunch of helper variables before getting
