The Playmaker
“Balance, Ketch Freeman the public hangman, who has H.E.’s approval and is overjoyed, since he believes that as an actor he might not be disdained by the young she-lags, as he is in his role of executioner.
For the role of Captain Plume, the recruiting officer, Henry Kable, the convict overseer.
For the role of Silvia, daughter to Balance, in love with Plume, Mary Brenham, who is as well as a competent player a good copyist.
For the role of Lucy, Melinda’s maid … the girl Duckling.
For the role ...of Melinda, a Lady of Fortune … Nancy Turner, if we can do so without seeming to condone perjury and bringing down Major Ross and Captain Campbell on our heads.
Davy Collins, Captain of Marines and Judge Advocate, spent Sundays writing his journal. It was a journal intended for publication, since fantastical voyages such as Davy, Ralph, and all the convicts had undertaken would be considered remarkable in England and even in Europe at large. Ralph had no literary ambitions of his own and was unrancourously certain that Davy’s book would be a journal of great quality and popular appeal, since Davy was a natural scholar.MoreLess
