But Madame Bonanni only heard the kind words. 'Yes, she answered, 'I should have been your mother, just the same. But I couldn't have been a better mother to you than I've been to Tom. I couldn't, indeed! 'No, Margaret said, in the same gentle tone as before, 'you've been very good to him. 'Yes! I have!
He had heard Bonanni in her best days and many great lyric sopranos from Patti to Melba, and he was thinking that none of them had sung the mad scene better than Cordova, who had only been on the stage two years, and was now in New York for the first time. But he had already heard her in London and Paris, and he knew her.
A woman who had made Madame Bonanni look like Juliet or Lucia could make Margarita da Cordova look a goddess from Olympus; and she did, from the theatrical point of view.
'Yes, answered Madame Bonanni rather brusquely, and she became very busy with some little birds. 'It's funny, Margaret said to Lushington. 'One always imagines a king with a crown and a sort of ermine dressing-gown, and a sceptre like the Lord Mayor's mace! Of course it s perfectly ridiculous, isn't it?
Margaret understood, and presently let her alone, and just sat down on a chair at the corner of the piano with a bit of work, and waited to see what would happen. 'I thought it might help you a little if I ran through the opera with you, said Madame Bonanni, after a long time. 'I have sung it very often.
Madame Bonanni sprang at them and almost took her bodily from their arms, tearing the handkerchief from her mouth just in time to let her utter the cry for help which is heard from behind the scenes. It was answered instantly by the courtiers shout of triumph, in which the four men who had carried off Gilda did not join.
He says that if it does not please people at the dress rehearsal, we can leave it out on the real night. 'I never heard of anything so ridiculous in my life! Madame Bonanni was evidently displeased.
She took up her book again, but she read without paying any attention to the words, for the recollection of what was coming had brought back all her anxiety about her future life. It would be a dreadful thing if Madame Bonanni should tell her frankly that she had no real talent and had better give it up.
It was not very skilfully done, but Lushington was grateful for what she meant by it, and for saying 'your mother' instead of 'Madame Bonanni. 'I think you will be great, too, he said, 'and before very long. There is no young soprano on the stage now, who has half your voice or half your talent. Margaret coloured with pleasure, though she could not quite believe what he told her.
Madame Bonanni had done one cheek and half the other. She leaned back in the comfortable chair before the glass and looked at herself again, not at all at the effect of her work, but at her eyes, as if she were searching for something. 'There is not room for you and me, she said, presently. 'I don't understand, Margaret answered. 'Not room? Where? 'On the stage.
