"I know it," said Marian, "but we thought we'd have little plays and tableaux, and things like that. And how can we manage those without boys? What do you say, Patty?" "I think it's nice to have the boys," said Patty, "but they won't come much in the afternoons. If we have them, it'll have to be an evening affair. Let's ask Aunt Alice." "Yes," said Elsie, "Mrs.
Why didn't I say I hate dancing?" Just then a bell sounded; people began hurrying away. The girl came up to Rosek. "Miss Daphne Wing Mrs. Fiorsen." Gyp put out her hand with a smile this girl was certainly a picture. Miss Daphne Wing smiled, too, and said, with the intonation of those who have been carefully corrected of an accent: "Oh, Mrs. Fiorsen, how beautifully your husband plays doesn't he?"
The prettiest waiting-maid I have ever seen is that of Madame V y, a lady who to-day plays at Paris a brilliant part among the most fashionable women, and passes for a wife who keeps on excellent terms with her husband.
How Germanized does he come forth from their libraries and from their green-rooms! We in America, with our formal manners, our bloodless complexions, our perpetual decorum and self-suppression, are about as much in sympathy with the real element of Shakespeare's plays as a Baptist parson is with a fox-hunt. Our blood is stirred by the narration, but our constitution could never stand the reality.
Faith in His words: "Believe Me." Faith in Himself, as here. In the Greek the preposition translated in, would be better rendered into, as though the believer was ever approaching the heart of Christ in deeper, warmer, closer fellowship; perpetual motion toward, combined with unbroken rest in.

"No! that's what the dirty Authors make plays with; a Lord and a Colonel, my-seen-asses, always takes the scissors." "How?" "Why the Colonel's Lady had lots of plays and she marked a scene here a jest there a line in one place a sentiment in t' other and the Colonel sate by with a great paper book cut 'em out, pasted them in book. Augh! but the Colonel pleased the town mightily."
She is a very obliging aunt and doesn't mind our doing this sort of thing, in fact, she plays lots of the games, too, and she can groan more hollowly than any of us, when groans are needed. This time we didn't ask her to, because she was reading a book by H.G. Wells to Mother, and anyway all our proceedings were supposed to be going on in the most Stealthy and Silent Secrecy.
The reading of very simple plays at first is a good stepping-stone to a study of Shakespeare later, but the plays must be interesting enough to hold the attention of boys who do not read fluently.
When the emperor is about to drink, a band of music plays, and when he takes the cup in his hand, all the barons and every one present, fall on their knees. The principal fêtes given by the grand khan were on the anniversary of his birth, and on the first day of the year.
The later plays of Ibsen, unlike almost all other modern dramas, depend upon nothing that happens while they are being exhibited, but rush downwards to their inevitable close in obedience to a series of long-precedent impulses.
