Then came twelve tableaux, amidst Greek fire, representing the flight of Dobozy, and at the end of the last tableau the folding-doors in the background were to be thrown open, revealing a magnificent display of fireworks, which was to terminate the entertainment. The feast went off capitally. Music, singing, the clinking of glasses, and merry discourse were mingled together into a joyous hubbub.
