The Prince was most affable and listened to Delsarte's fantastic theories, pretending to be interested in the explanation of the cartoons, and began to discuss the art of teaching, which exasperated Delsarte to the verge of impoliteness. Prince Oscar offered to sing a Swedish song, a very simple peasant song, which he sang very well, I thought.
By no means is any one to presume that my mule and I had become reconciled by our lengthened companionship. Discomfort amounting to positive agony had taught me to adopt more attitudes, graceful or ungraceful, than all the combined systems of Delsarte and other physical culturists could possibly suggest.
Continue your other exercises, but devote only about a third as much time to them, and use the other two thirds for Delsarte movements. First: Let your hands swing loosely from the wrist, and swing them lifelessly to and fro. Execute the movement first with the right hand then with the left, then with both.
Worthington, who had trained down to one hundred and ninety-seven pounds five and three-eighths ounces, gave her course of lectures on delsarte before the Federation. It was Mrs. Handy who encouraged Mrs. Worthington to open her salon.
Thanks to him the lamp of our old French school was kept dimly burning until the day when inherent justice permitted it to be revived. In this restricted world no evening was complete without Delsarte.
This harrowing ballad was repeated with accompanying Delsarte at intervals during the afternoon, but as Mary and the fat lady managed to escape without accident, they began to feel that they bore charmed lives. At sundown they came to the road-ranch of Johnnie Dax, bearing Leander’s compliments as a secret despatch.
The Swedish language is lovely for singing, almost as good as Italian. We looked for some words of praise; but Delsarte, adopting regency manners, which he can on occasions, said, in a most insinuating voice: "Your Highness is destined to become a king, one of these days. Is it not so?" "Yes," answered the Prince, wondering what was coming next.
But if Duprez made a wonderful voice at the risk of breaking it, I have always thought that Madame Carvalho owed her admirable diction, so distinguishing a mark of her talent, to Delsarte. Delsarte was a disastrous and deadly teacher of singing. No voice could stand up under his methods, not even his own, although he attributed its loss to teaching at the Conservatoire.
"How horribly impolite," said the indignant Monsieur Due. "He ought to have his ears boxed!" Prince Oscar took it quite kindly, and, giving Delsarte a clap on his back which I am sure made his shoulders twinge, said: "You are right; I shall have other things to think of.
This meant taking all the kinks and little original attitudes out of the soil and reproving its occasional shoulder shrugs, so to speak, Delsarte methods applied to the earth, and you know that Evan actually laughed at us for doing it.
