Reading Experience:

Evidence:

'In the Evening went again to the Club, found no one there but Marcus Clarke & Shillingham. Had a chat with them. Marcus read a portion of a comic Opera he was writing to be called "The Jolly beggars". It was very funny but I should think better adapted for the pages of Punch than for the Stage'
