Meredith wonders therefore, whether, despite Frances Sheridan's reputation for sweetness of temper, she had satirized her husband in the characters both of Lord Medway and Sir Anthony, and whether Garrick's sincere admiration for the comedy wasn't heightened by the prospect of using it to get in a dig at his rival.
