I believe Garrick embraced SOMETHING, on the basis of two things I heard or read about him. One is that he regularly attended Toplady’s church.Tthe other is that when a clergyman asked him why he was so ineffective, Garrick told him something like “I proclaim fiction as thsough it were fact, whereas you proclaim fact as though it were fiction.”
Dr Clark, I honestly thought “Oh Gearge!” was Hywel Jones burlesquing an American accent – I didn’t realise it was just your typo!
I shouldn’t type on my phone.
I don’t get this one. Could someone explain. Thanks.
Leslie,
It’s something of an inside joke. Thomas Kidd explains:
The title of this cartoon reminded me of this:
“A mechanic who worked out of his home had a dog named Mace. Mace had a bad habit of eating all the grass on the mechanic’s lawn, so the mechanic had to keep Mace inside. The grass eventually became overgrown. One day the mechanic was working on a car in the backyard and dropped his wrench, losing it in the tall grass. He couldn’t find it for the life of him, so he decided to call it a day.
That night, Mace escaped from the house and ate all the grass in the backyard. The next morning the mechanic went outside and saw his wrench glinting in the sunlight.
Realizing what had happened he looked toward the heavens and proclaimed, “A grazing Mace, how sweet the hound, that saved a wrench for me!”
To paraphrase Hywel Jones to me:
Oh George!
