I had already achieved a fair number of successes: Le Passant, Le Drame de la Rue de la Paix, Anna Danby in Kean, and Jean-Marie, but I felt that the Ruy Blas success was greater than any of the others, and that this time I had become some one to be criticised, but not to be overlooked. I often went in the morning to Victor Hugo's, and he was always very charming and kind.
"Could it be possible," he added, "that the hint Hycy Burke threw out about young Clinton has any truth in it 'Harry Clinton will do you an injury; but more he would not say. I will now watch him well, for I certainly cannot drame why he should be my enemy." He met Clinton on the way, however, to whom he delivered the message.
The celebrated LEKAIN opposed its being acted, and affirmed with reason that this mixture of the two species of drama hurt them both. MOLE, who was fond of applause easily obtained, was the protector of the piece, and played the part of Beverley with success; but this drame is no longer performed on the Parisian stage. Next to this, comes Le Pere de Famille, by DIDEROT. It is a long sermon.
'Lucky for thee, said Bill Blacksmith, 'as thee bee'st so shart and fat, Jan. Dree on us wor a gooin' to shutt 'ee, till us zeed how fat thee waz, Jan. "'Lor now, Bill! I answered 'un, wi' a girt cold swat upon me: 'shutt me, Bill; and my own waife niver drame of it!"
"Ye see, if that was to happen, I would then know that it was all a drame. I've more than wance expected to wake up since I comed into furrin parts; the only thing that kapes me in doubt about it is the baccy." "How so, Barney?" "Why, bekase it tastes so rael, good luck to it! that I can't git myself to think it's only a drame.
It is with him as with the rabbits of which BOILEAU makes mention, in one of his Satires where he describes a bad dinner, " et qui, nes dans Paris, Sentaient encore le chou dont ils furent nourris." The drame is the style in which DAMAS best succeeds. There is one in particular, Le Lovelace Francais, where he personates an upholsterer of the Rue St.
"I'll be drinkin' condinsed spirits an' 'atin' hay-cake whip the vultures do be peckin' at what's lift uv ye whip the Subadar's done wid ye. I'd a drame about ye last noight, William Connor dear three times I dramed it." Suddenly Connor's face was clouded. "Whist, thin, Coolin," said he hoarsely.
He has had a drame, he says, in which his son James that was in Lady Gourlay's service has appeared to him, and threatens that unless he renders her justice, he has but a poor chance in the other world."
"I'll be drinkin' condinsed spirits an' 'atin' hay-cake whip the vultures do be peckin' at what's lift uv ye whip the Subadar's done wid ye. I'd a drame about ye last noight, William Connor dear three times I dramed it." Suddenly Connor's face was clouded. "Whist, thin, Coolin," said he hoarsely.
Yet his firm grasp upon the essential qualities of diseased and guilty human nature saves him, even at his wildest, from the unrealities and extravagances into which less potent artists of the drame sanglant Marston, for example blundered. With Webster, the tendency to brood on horrors was no result of calculation. It belonged to his idiosyncrasy.
