The Captain watched the tableau for a moment or two, and then tiptoed into the room and placed the lamp on the bureau. "Now, I think likely," he said in a rather husky whisper, "that you'd like to stay with your grandpa for a little while, so I'll go downstairs and see about supper.
In the tableau of the marriage ceremony she had taken her position with reference to the locality of the box, and as near it as possible, and in the glare of the footlights the ring was clearly revealed.
How long this tableau vivant would have continued it is impossible to say, therefore I proceeded to business by asking the governor if he knew Quat Kare by sight? He only replied "yes." At this reply, the king, without altering his position or expression, said, "Then who am I?"
Nevertheless our hearts leaped when a moment later our mysterious black officer friend hove in sight. Life is sweet. He asked them what they did with us. The tableau answered for itself before the words had left his lips.
In his second period we get the Decameron series, the episodes from Faust, the Don Quixote recall, if you can, that glorious tableau with its Spanish group and the long, grave don and merry, rotund squire entering on the scene, a fantastic sky behind them.

When she did so she saw a little tableau, unobserved by the busy clerks and customers, which made her heart stand still.

"Who can that be?" thought Mary.
Persons who served as doorkeepers or in any other capacity received ten dollars each. At one dollar for admission we crowded the big hall and always had money left over.
