Summary
"Miss Cranfield has been cast for the Colombine of Covent-Garden. In performing the character last night, she appeared as a butcher's boy, wearing only a short jacket, which displayed limbs of as elegant form and just symmetry as any of the breeches wearing ladies can boast.--Her breeches were nankeen--but mum--'more is meant than meets the eye,' any colour but buff.--"
