['"Grace\'s adaptation was the first to be licensed, on 5 January 1882."\n\n"[...] extramarital relationships could not be referred to explicitly (actual references to "adultery" are cut [by the Lord Chamberlain\'s Office])." (Beller e.a. (2014)) pp.107-108\n\nLord Chamberlain\'s Collection, British Library, London\n\nInformation below from Jordan e.a. (2013):\n\nToured with Florence Wade\'s Company in 1882, performing Hamilton\'s Moths at provincial theatres. "[...] the existence of Grace\'s own adaptation suggests that hers was prompted by a need for a different version for the same company. [...] it strongly echoes the structure of Hamilton\'s while also closely adhering to Ouida\'s plot line and dialogue."\n\n"Unlike her fellow adaptors, Grace creates a closing scene that is built upon the melodrama/sensation fiction model of the transgressive woman rather than the villainous man."']
