But it was too late to recede . He did not dare confess to his father what he had done when he found the character of that
father so immediately implicated in the proceeding . The deception thus became popular , and most of the big-wigs and learned Thebans , who flattered their bloated vapidity with the notion that they understood Shakspeare , gave it their entire sanction and patronage . John Kemble , ana one or two more , knew better .
