Discusses the word "run-aways" in Juliet's soliloquy, which he thinks is similar to wording used in Coriolanus, Act IV, scene 6: "Go see this rumourer whipp'd." He also includes a quotation from Romeo and Juliet beginning: "Gallop apace, you fiery-footed steeds." Singer would like Mitford's opinion on the topic. Addressed from Manor Place, South Lambeth. With an engraving of S.W. Singer.
