"Did I? Well, I do think highly of him, Philippa. And so, after all, you really care for him?" "I do not think I shall tell you, Norman. You deserve to be kept in the dark. Would you tell me if you found your ideal woman?" "I would. I would tell you at once," he replied, eagerly. "If you could but have seen your face!" she cried. "I feel tempted to act the charade over again.
To-morrow we dine with the F s, and there is to be a dance in the evening; on Wednesday I act Constance; Thursday there is a charade party at the M s'; Friday I play Mrs. Beverley; and Monday and Wednesday next, Camiola.
No portrait of my mother was ever taken, so that I have never been able to picture her to myself otherwise than vaguely, but I remember that on one occasion in my youth when I played the part of a young lady in a charade, several persons present who had known her, said that the likeness was so striking that it almost seemed as if she had appeared to them in a vision, and they told me that if I wanted to know what my mother was like, I had only to consult a looking-glass.
Still on the borders of sleep, he unlocked the great wardrobe and took out an old faded purple and crimson dressing-gown that had belonged to his grandfather, the chief glory of every Christmas charade. He pulled the cowl-like hood over his head and strode majestically over to the looking-glass.
It was not until this moment that Elizabeth Eliza guessed the whole. "What a tableau!" exclaimed Mr. Bromwick; "the Peterkin family guessing their own charade."

I have told you about the charade, Leucha, because I thought it only right to warn you. If you prefer it, you need not be a spectator. 'What next? repeated Leucha. 'I am to lose the fun of seeing Hollyhock disgrace herself. I shall certainly do nothing of the kind. I will be present, and perhaps take her down a peg.
Rawdon Crawley, who is going to act in the charade, comes forward and compliments Mrs. Winkworth on the admirable taste and beauty of her costume. The second part of the charade takes place. It is still an Eastern scene. Hassan, in another dress, is in an attitude by Zuleikah, who is perfectly reconciled to him. The Kislar Aga has become a peaceful black slave.
"We must have an 'inn' scene," said Elizabeth Eliza, consulting her letter; "two inns, if we can." "We will have some travellers disgusted with one inn, and going to another," said John Osborne. "Now is the time for the bandboxes," said Solomon John, who, since his Turk scene was over, could give his attention to the rest of the charade.
The concluding words of the speech were not spoken, but were taken as the cue for a splendid charade; the long-suffering Scipio again making his appearance, in company with Alexander and Hannibal; the group typifying the future government of Matthias. After each of these, heroic individuals had spouted a hundred lines or so, the play was terminated, and Rhetoric took her departure.
