The tragedy and afterpiece were concluded full two hours before their regular time; and the cries for Mr. Kemble became so loud, that the manager thought proper to obey the summons. Amid all these scenes of uproar he preserved his equanimity, and was never once betrayed into any expression of petulance or anger. With some difficulty he obtained a hearing.
There was another fervent prayer in low, pleading tones, after which followed the recessional, the choir-boys chanting their solemn measures. Amarilly in passing out saw John, clad in a long, tight-fitting black garment, standing at the church door. "He's got another costume fer the afterpiece," she thought admiringly.
Such was the burlesque that was played, they tell us, as the afterpiece to the tragedy of Crassus's expedition.
The seamen would have been sent to the gallows in any case, but Nicholas' speech made their fate inevitable. The court brushed aside the legal bristles, and hanged the four seamen on the evidence of the mate and the cook. The tragedy of the gallows was followed by a short afterpiece.
Wilde was not dead, as her weary appearance in the afterpiece attested; but she had been cruelly abused, and the murmurs, here and there, as we left the hall, went far to show that Othello had done well in voluntarily paying the debt of nature, and that Emilia thought none too ill of him. "Ought to ha' been strong up, by good rights," growled Tiverton. "you can't find a jury't would acquit him!"
Crocker and Emma we now instinctively gave him the precedence were inconsiderate enough to remove themselves without making clear the fate of the no longer missing St. Michael. We still speculated indolently as to the nature of the afterpiece in which we assumed this ex-hero of our comedy might yet appear.
If among these sinister memories your visit should threaten to prove a tragedy, there is an excellent way of removing the impression. You may treat yourself at Blois to a very cheerful afterpiece. There is a charming industry practised there, and practised in charming conditions.
The policeman, perceiving that the interest of the entire group of spectators was centred upon himself and Lorison their conference being regarded as a possible new complication was fain to prolong the situation which reflected his own importance by a little afterpiece of philosophical comment.
As for my young hostess, I knew she looked more gratified with my song than with the afterpiece, and that I felt to be something. Dirck had an occasion to renew a little of the ground lost by the toast, for he sang a capital comic song in Low Dutch.
And when, to the kisses of flutes, the last palm had been awarded, the last death acclaimed, a ballet was given; that of Paris and Venus, which Apuleius has described so well, and for afterpiece the romance of Pasipha? and the bull.
