They are the offspring of our affected and falsely sentimental times, and deserve not immortality. Away with them! A new day shall begin for me, or I shall hide my head in bitter solitude, despising my race, who applaud the juggler, and turn away in coldness from the veritable artiste."
Barbara saw the hunted look she had already observed in her that evening creeping over her face again. "It is a hard life; this life of ours, a life of change, ma petite! A great artiste has no country, no home, no fireside! For the past five years I have been roaming about the world! Often I think I will settle down, but the life holds me!"
She was pale, already weary, and her beauty, heightened by this weariness, was "in full blast," as the former bungling artiste said in her capacity of a connoisseur. "After all," Dujarrier said to herself, "it is the favorable moment for success. One does not become a general except through seniority." Marianne also experienced the same feelings as the Dujarrier.
"Yes," he answered simply, "You're not the woman God meant you to be. You're too critical, too cold without passion." "And I a musician?" incredulously. "Oh, it's in your music right enough. The artist in you has it. But the woman so far, no. You're too introspective to surrender blindly. Artiste, analyst, critic first only woman when those other three are satisfied." Nan nodded.
In this desire M. Dantès is actuated solely by the wish to lay the homage of a Frenchman at the feet of so distinguished an artiste of his own nation as Mlle. d' Armilly." Having finished, sealed and addressed this note, the Count touched a bell which was immediately answered by the ever-watchful Nubian.

Was she a married woman? An artiste? A girl? Such queries thumped beneath overcoats, while the correctness of a ceremonious demeanour was strictly observed. Chirac uncovered, and kissed her hand.
I shall never forget the first performance, in which Mounet-Sully obtained a delirious triumph. Oh, how fine he was, Mounet-Sully, in his role of Orestes! His entrance, his fury, his madness, and the plastic beauty of this marvellous artiste how magnificent! After Andromaque I played Aricie in Phedre, and in this secondary role it was I who really made the success of the evening.
There is even now, in London, a vastly popular corsetière who does not hesitate to recommend herself as the only artiste in town who can persuade any form, stout or lean, to assume at once the exact outlines of the admired American figure. The Duchess of Roxburghe, Mrs.
With the little airs and graces peculiar to a stage artiste, Edith put on the dusty costume of Edith Conyngham, and limped feebly across the floor; then the decorous garments of the Brand, and whispered tenderly in McMeeter's ear; last, the brilliant habit of the escaped nun, the curious eyebrows, the pallid face; curtseying at the close of the performance with her bold eyes on her audience, as if beseeching the merited applause.
Her quick wit was tickled by the curious incongruities of the scene; by Richard Lincoln talking small nothings to the Duchess of Bayswater across the rich American; by the genial and smirking Jawkins, seated between Sir John Dacre and that pink of fashion, Colonel Featherstone; by Lady Carringford, who was between the indifferent Colonel and the Duke; by the three members of the artiste class, Prouty, Diddlej and Sydney, whom Mr.
