Only think!" A comic episode which occurred during the first performance of "Fidelio" is also related by the same authority: "In that deeply tragic scene where Mme. She whispers to him with a rather coarse epithet: 'Why don't you take it? Do you want it buttered? All this time, the audience, ignorant of the by-play, was solely intent on the pathetic situation."
To deepen it she looked up at Graydon and said something that caused his face to flush with pleasure. His response was more decisive, for the swift color came into her face, and her eyes drooped. The by-play was momentary, and would not have been seen by a less vigilant observer than Madge; but to her it gave the undoubted impression that they were lovers.
My enemy's sword leaped to meet mine, and at the same instant I heard another click of steel betokening that the seconds had fallen to in a bit of by-play between themselves, as was then the fashion.
"One flight up, Miss, and turn to the right," he continued, promptly; and then he winked over the girl's head at Uncle John, who frowned so terribly that the man drew aside and disappeared abruptly. The Major and Patsy were staring at one another, however, and did not see this by-play. "Let's go up," said the Major, in a husky voice, and proceeded to mount the stairs.
"What will happen to him?" "Some one will pick him up, or, after his leg recovers, he may find his way back to the settlement." The impulsive girl flung her arms about the animal's neck and touched her lips to the silken nose. "They shall not part us, Cap," she exclaimed with tears in her eyes. The lieutenant watched this by-play, full of sympathy for the girl, but he was in a quandary.
Then they ranged up in a row in front of old Jerry and each touched his forelock and gave a hitch to his trowser leg. "Ready for orders, cap'n," they said, in unison, having practiced this little by-play in secret. "Wh what?" stammered Captain Jerry, gazing at them in bewilderment. "Ready for orders, sir," they said. "Shall we shake out the mainsail?" asked Dick.
Mabel's arm was about his neck, her hand upon his mouth. "No more! no more! if you love me!" she whispered in an agony. "Should he guess all, he would murder her!" "You are prepared to certify that he is dead NOW, are you, Mr. Dorrance?" queried Winston, suspicious of this by-play. "I am!" sulkily. "It is a pity!" was the ambiguous rejoinder. Something clicked upon the hearth.
Green, quite unconscious of the by-play in their thoughts, went on to say, "It is really becoming a serious evil that Southern gentlemen have so little security for that species of property." "Then you consider women and children property?" inquired Mr. Percival, looking up from his book. Mr. Green bowed with a sort of mock deference, and replied: "Pardon me, Mr.
The indolent one, often a mere gabbler, opens his eyes and his mouth weeks afterwards, and cries, 'Dear me! Was that the much-looked-for opportunity? Of course, Robinson's by-play with the sack and rope was merely thrown in by the prodigal hand of Fate." "Stop!" yelped Furneaux. "Another platitude, and I'll assault you with the tongs!"
All this by-play took some time, but at last they were ready one man armed with a pair of binoculars and the other with the American naval rifle the Lee straight-pull, which fires the thinnest pin of a cartridge I have seen and has but a two-pound trigger pull.
