But what''s that to do with the law against selling theatre tickets here in Brecon? inquired the tavernkeeper. Much to do, said the other. This rare paste for the teeth sells at threepence the box, but we''ll sell it today for a shilling and whisper to each buyer that if he''ll bring the little box to the coach-house to-night he may have admission to a wonderful fine play, free of course, no tickets sold, but only acted to such as have the magic box of powder. How does that strike you, man? Squarely, cried mine host, his blue eyes beaming. Well thought of, Roger! No tickets sold, only some tooth-powder. The law encourages trade. ''Tis a happy thought. I knew the ale would set your wits afoot. Empty the cup, and tell me what you play. Kemble drank and set down the flagon. Then he took a paper from his pocket and unfolded it. Hearken, said he, and began to read. Mr. Kemble''s company of players will appear in a celebrated comedy entitled ''The Tempest, or The Enchanted Island,'' by W. Shakespeare, with all the scenery, machinery, music, monsters, and the decorations proper to be given, entirely new. The performances will open with a representation of a tempestuous sea (in perpetual agitation), and storm, in which the usurper''s ship is wrecked; the wreck ends in a beautiful shower of fire; and the whole to conclude with a calm sea, on which appears Neptune, poetic god of the ocean, and his royal consort, Amphitrite, in a chariot drawn by sea-horses. Splendid! exclaimed the tavern-keeper. To think that the old coach-house should see all that! Sea-horses and a chariot and a wreck...
