Note 887 — X THE ACTOR'S QUALITY
Reading edition
Stopes (supra). I find a confirmatory note to a Household list of 1641 in Lord Chamberlain's Records, iii. 1, 'Note that the Companyes of Players under the Titles of the Kings, Queenes, Queene of Bohemia, Prince & Duke of Yorke are all of them sworne Groomes of the Chamber in ordinary without fee'. I cannot accept Miss Sullivan's theory that 'without fee' means that the players did not have to buy their places.
