But when Lutie began to hang out at the Studios she took up with the Musical Set that couldn't talk about anything but Technique and Shading and the Motif and the Vibrato. She began to fill up the Parlor with her new Friends, and the first thing Oliver knew he was in the Side Pocket and out of the Game.
Dear Trunnion! he makes me overlook the gambols of his detestable protege, the hero. That scoundrel is not an impossible caricature of an obstinate, vain, cruel libertine. Peregrine was precisely the man to fall in love with Emilia pour le bon motif, and then attempt to ruin her, though she was the sister of his friend, by devices worthy of Lovelace at his last and lowest stage.
From the first word uttered in the House debate, until the final roll-call, political expediency was the chief motif. Mr. Lenroot of Wisconsin, Republican, rose to say: "May I suggest that there is a distinction between the Democratic members of the Committee on Rules and the Republican members, in this, that all of the Republican members are for this proposition?"
The first is a diminution of the motif compassed by the second and third measures, which by reiteration develops the climax of the piece: The second is a harmonized inversion of the same short figure, preceded by a jubilantly ascending scale: This is the expression of the ecstasy of hope, the wildly blissful contemplation of a promise of reward of which I have spoken.
Lyon was disappointed neither in the quality of his sitter nor in the degree to which he himself rose to the occasion; he felt really confident that he should produce a fine thing. He was in the humour; he was charmed with his motif and deeply interested in his problem.
To her eyes the Sergeant ever kept harking back as to the main motif of his fugue, till Cameron would have dearly loved to chuck him and his fugue out of doors. He was saved from deeds of desperate violence by a voice at the door. "Letta fo' Mis Camelon!" "Hello, Cameron!" exclaimed the Sergeant, handing him the note. "You're in luck." There was no mistaking the jealousy in the Sergeant's voice.
The Mycenæan was the victor in the first shock; but the steady pressure of the tribes from the North was not to be permanently resisted, and the end was the establishment of an alien race in power at Mycenæ. The Mycenæan stele, where the chief of the ancient stock pursues his Northern assailant, has its motif reversed in the archaic Greek stele discovered by Dr.
"I have strength and courage." The old man is won over. He will ask the governor for permission to take Fidelio with him to the secret cells, for he is growing old, and death will soon claim him. In the trio which follows, the dialogue which has been outlined first intones a motif which speaks merely of complacency:
If the hero solves or accomplishes it, he generally wins, besides other precious possessions, a woman or a princess, whom he marries. In the case of a heroine the prize is a beautiful prince. The motif of the hard-won prize matches the later appearance of obstacles in the Parable. The nature of the prize is, for the present at any rate, a matter of indifference.
Up the British line there crept news of big doings down south. There was a new sound in the air a distant continued thunder that was different from any previous sound the big drums of the devil's orchestra were booming an accompaniment that was the motif of hell's cantata.
