And while the feeble glow of the banked-down fire in the grate draped the objects in the room with grotesque shadows, she went over again the bead-roll of faith in the eleventh of Hebrews and heard again the response of her conscience to the solemn appeal of Mrs.
I sometimes wonder as I come across the last frivolous gossip concerning that poet in the paragraphs of the new journalism, or meet his name in some distinguished bead-roll in The Morning Post, whether Narcissus was not, after all, mistaken about him, and whether he could still, season after season, go through the same stale round of reception, private view, first night, and all the various drill of fashion and folly, if that boy's heart were alive still.
Of all books these are the least wearisome to read and the richest in matter; the course of roads and rivers, the contour lines and the forests in the maps the reefs, soundings, anchors, sailing marks and little pilot-pictures in the charts and, in both, the bead-roll of names, make them of all printed matter the most fit to stimulate and satisfy the fancy.
Let not the unwary reader opine, that in assigning the same name to three several individuals, I am acting as an humble imitator of the inimitable writer who has given immortality to the Peppers and the Mustards, on the one hand; or showing a poverty of invention or a want of acquaintance with the bead-roll of canine appellations on the other.
Her Alice in "Robert le Diable," her Valentine in "Les Huguenots," added fresh luster to her fame. In the latter character no representative of opera, in spite of the long bead-roll of eminent names interwoven with the record of this musical work, is worthy to be compared with her.
He seems to gather up the past moments of his being like drops of honey-dew to distil a precious liquor from them; his alternate pleasures and pains are the bead-roll that he tells over and piously worships; he makes a rosary of the flowers of hope and fancy that strewed his earliest years.
"Heavens! what a black bead-roll of offences; Mrs. Merton would have discarded me for one of them. However, thy account has removed my surprise; I heard her praise thee the other day; now, as long as she loved thee, she always abused thee like a pickpocket." "Ha! ha! ha! and what said she in my favour?"
But, in all these cases, the litera scripta has been but the closing act, the signing of the name to History's bead-roll of passing greatness, the testamentum of the old soldier whose personalty is worth bequeathing to the world. The work before us, although of great value and present importance, is of a very different character; as a glance at the circumstances which produced it will show.
The song the giant Christopher sings through the storm is particularly superb. Frank van der Stucken. On the bead-roll of those who have had both the ability and the courage to take a stand for our music, the name of Frank van der Stucken must stand high. His Americanism is very frail, so far as birth and breeding count, but he has won his naturalization by his ardor for native music.
It may be a question of the settlement, or the bridecake, or white satin "slip" if that's the name for it the orange-flowers, or the choice of the best man who knows? 'You seem to know the whole bead-roll of wedding incidents. 'It is a dull répertoire after all, for whether the piece be melodrama, farce, genteel comedy, or harrowing tragedy, it has to be played by the same actors.
