It was a message not unlike many the manager of the king’s company had received in the past: A nobleman had under his protection a girl desirous of gracing the stage. Would Master Killigrew do him the kindness of seeing the aspirant and judging for himself whether she could be so employed? Lord Kincaid himself ventured to suggest that once Killigrew laid eyes upon her, he would be captivated. This message offered a choice of meeting place—either at the young lady’s lodgings, or at the playhouse..., where Lord Kincaid would bring Mistress Wyat at a time convenient for Master Killigrew.
Master Killigrew drank deep of his ale. He was on friendly terms with Kincaid, who had a lively wit and, while he eschewed the ultimate extravagancies of the court, could never be labeled a dull dog. The king held him in esteem, although he was by no means one of the favorites—did not put himself out to be so, Killigrew reflected. Not one for the groveling and simpering that marked the truly obsequious courtier.
