Nor did it seem to come from John at all, but from above, falling like a snowflake out of the sky. And then, for one immeasurable moment silence. John slipped back to his seat, crimson with bashfulness, while the School thundered applause. The Field Marshal shouted "Encore," as loudly as any fag; but the Head Master whispered "We don't encourage encores. A small boy's head is easily turned."
''Ave you got it, Snapper? whispered Private Robinson anxiously at the end. 'Will you be able to remember it? Snapper, with his eyes fixed on vacancy, began to play the air over softly, when from further down the trench came a murmur of applause, that rose to a storm of hand-clappings and shouts of 'Bravo! and 'Encore 'core 'core!
Then he played it for the third time to correct a new batch of errors. "I should like to hear Fenn play that," said Challis. "You're awfully good, you know, Williams, but he might do it better still." "Get him to play it as an encore at the concert," said Williams, starting for the fourth time.
Paul, and the “Prayer,” from “Moses in Egypt,” were next given in such a superior manner by the chorus, that the last number won an encore. At this point Madam Urso appeared and met with a reception that for wild enthusiasm and fervor has probably never been exceeded by any concert audience. The very proper coldness and passiveness of Eastern audiences finds small favor beyond the mountains.
"St John was only twenty-nine, sir." "'Jeune encore, as the French say. Is he a person of low stature, phlegmatic, and plain. A person whose goodness consists rather in his guiltlessness of vice, than in his prowess in virtue." "He is untiringly active. Great and exalted deeds are what he lives to perform." "But his brain? That is probably rather soft?

The justification for the quintet is its beauty and the fact that it finds expression for the feeling of the moment. All the same, I have heard it encored more than once; and an encore in the middle of the act of a Wagner music-drama, or even music-comedy, is almost inconceivable.
You sut'n'y the beatin'es' white boy 'n 'is city!" The dancers were swinging into an "encore" as Alice halted for an irresolute moment in a doorway.
At the encore, which was livened by a clog danced to hidden music, she surely blew a kiss in the direction of Casey, who gulped and looked around at the others self-consciously, and blushed hotly. In truth, it was a very good show which the two gave there in the tent; much better than the easiest going optimist would expect.
H., on whom, as an artist, and himself no mean musician, we had already devolved the task of being enthusiastic and demonstrative over matters of this kind, applauded vehemently, and cried, "Bravo!" and "Encore!" and ended in convincing us of the reality of his delight, by pressing his brandy-flask into the hands of the performer, and urging him to "drink it all, every drop, and then give us another!"
It was inspiringly beautiful; and the music was divine Charley Kelley's orchestra was playing; and Mr. Briggs was a wonderful dancer. But Missy couldn't forget the oppressive heat, or the stabbing weights in her head, or, worse yet, that blackberry cobbler. As Mr. Briggs was clapping for a second encore, she said tremulously: "Will you excuse me a minute?
