Chapter 9 The Mermaid Tavern

　　During the next few years the plague was always with us. Some years it was bad, other years not so bad. When the theatres in London closed, we went on tour. Well, the King's Men did. Will and I were mostly at home in Stratford in the summers. (1)

　　Susanna married Dr John Hall in June, 1607, and Will's granddaughter Elizabeth was born in February the next year. We had a very cold winter that year. The river Thames in London froze right up to Westminster. (2)

　　Will's brother Edmund died that winter—he was only twenty-seven—and Will's mother died in September the next year.

　　Will was writing a different kind of play at this time. John Heminges said they were dark, cruel plays, and that Will was only looking at the black side of people. But that was the thing about Will. (3) : The Winter's Tale.

　　When we were in London, we often went in the evenings to the Mermaid Tavern in Cheapside, it was a very good inn, with good beer, and all the writers and poets in London went there.

　　We were there one evening in the winter of 1610, I think it was. A lot of Will's friends were there—actors, writers. Ben Jonson was there, of course. He was a great drinker all his life. He was writing a lot of plays now and was doing very well. But he never had any money—Will always paid for the beer.

　　At first, the talk was all about King James and his court. (4) Then Ben remembered something about The Winter's Tale. (5)
