The play had certainly been amusing, and William was more than a little relieved that he had not found a likeness upon the stage, although some of his friends could not be considered as fortunate. But that was the price for a military involvement, he supposed. He stood by the window in the Melbourne’s drawing room after dinner, watching the dimly lit carriages trundle along Piccadilly. Taking a sip from his glass, he turned to look at the person next to him. “I imagine that Sheridan won’t be able to live that down in the Commons when they next meet. I must admit, I’m quite sorry that I’ll miss that.” Although he could always try to get a spot in the public gallery for the next session.

Despite the return to London, the hazy summer days spent at the encampment at Coxheath were still fresh in everyone’s memories. The parties and romances are still on the tip of everyone’s tongue and the nostalgia has prompted tonight’s illustrious gathering at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane. R.B. Sheridan’s latest play, The Camp, was to receive its grand premiere on the thirtieth of October, fondly lampooning the encampment’s little militarian merit. Many in the audience delighted in the play, although there were some of those who were less than pleased to see themselves reflected under the limelight.

A dinner and dance was held at Melbourne House in honour of Sheridan, following the premiere, with Lady Melbourne hosting. The wine runs free and the lips loosen, as the gossip fills the room and ears perk up, what started like a quiet evening might turn into the night of the year.
