Wuen Sheridan first brought out his comedy, ‘The School for Scandal,” Chesterfield, himself a dramatist, being present with his children, checked them whenever they laughed. Sheridan, hearing of this, wrote to Chesterfield that he thought it mean in him not to let the children laugh, because he (Sheridan) was present at his (Chesterfield’s) tragedy a few nights before and laughed at it all the way through.—Commercial Advertiser's Scrap Book.
