I was enjoying the very modest but very satisfying pleasures of a ride in a tramcar when the following adventure befell me.

Under the circumstances, and especially as oxen cannot be hurried, it might be well to pass the time by talking about Jonas Hicks's past; it will be better than to take up the scenery again.

"Dressing the dolls was easy; we glued on most of their clothes, and we made the step-sisters ugly by giving them putty noses. Hippy painted the scenery and David supplied the electric lights.

Sarostro, for instance, lives among Egyptian scenery very likely the architecture of his temple was Egyptian at the first performance but, for all that, this Egyptian world does not suit the music, and to us it suggests the miracles of the Egyptian Hall.
As I have already said, there is no such scenery near any city that I know of.
