Villeroy's son, were together in a box at the play house,
and the latter gentleman leaving his seat to go upon the
stage to one of the actresses, Mr. Hamilton, who had been
standing behind, asked leave of the Duke to sit down 'till
his return; which the other perceiving, came back in his
heat; and after much ill language, laid his hand on his
