London. . . Dec. 7. . . A little before the play of
Barbaressa began on Friday at Covent Garden, a young lady of
fashion came into the King's box, with three daughters of
about five years old, all twins, exactly of a size and shape
and perfectly alike in features; there was no knowing one
from the other: they were very handsome, and their dress
being exactly alike as their persons, added to the
prettiness of the appearance. The audience were so struck
with the singularity of the thing, that they gave a great
applause, and the little creatures curtseying to it, made
their obeisance so exactly all at once, that they seemed as
if one mind inspired them.
