First Sentence

In his 1907 text on eighteenth-century actresses, Comedy Queens of the Georgian Era, John Fyvie begins the chapter on Charlotte Charke as follows: "Colley Cibber, poet-laureate, popular actor, sparkling dramatist, successful manager, and- by virtue of his Apology for his own life (which needed none)-author of the most entertaining book in all theatrical literature, was the father of twelve children..." (Fyvie 42).
