Chepstow's voice when she said to him, "I don't feel such things this summer." Surely Nigel now echoed that note. An electric bell sounded. They returned to the concert-room. They stayed till the concert was over, and then walked away down Regent Street, which was moist and dreary, full of mist and of ugly noises. "When do you start for Egypt?" said Meyer Isaacson. "In about ten days, I think.
It is the special examples that I like to bring out, so that the jolly lads who are tempted into such places as the concert-room which I described may perhaps receive a timely check.
In many cases skilled amateurs or professionals lend their valuable assistance; and it is not too much to say that many a programme is presented to the audience ay, and faithfully carried out too which would do credit to a high-priced concert-room. But, then, who make up the audience?
Surely that was a good opening," he said. She turned away from him again, and her fingers wandered lightly over the keys of the piano. "I always say to me, 'Some day I am in England; the English give much money at concerts; perhaps that is better." "So you've come over to England to get a series of concert-room engagements; is that it, Nina?" She shrugged her shoulders ever so slightly.
I told them that on the result of our meeting of that day depended the possibility of my giving my concerts; that we must not leave the concert-room till we were quite clear about it.
In entering a concert-room or tile box of a theatre, a gentleman should precede a lady, if there is not room to walk beside her, until they reach the seats, then hand her to the inner one, taking the outside one himself. In going out, if he cannot offer her his arm, he must again walk before her, until he reaches the lobby, and then offer her his arm.
Nothing can be more perfect than the concert-room at Monte Carlo, and nothing more charming; and for all this there is nothing whatever to pay. But by whom; out of whose pocket are all these good things provided?
Then, the waiters were rushing to and fro with glasses of negus, and glasses of brandy-and-water, and bottles of ale, and bottles of stout; and ginger-beer was going off in one place, and practical jokes were going on in another; and people were crowding to the door of the Rotunda; and in short the whole scene was, as Miss J’mima Ivins, inspired by the novelty, or the shrub, or both, observed—‘one of dazzling excitement.’ As to the concert-room, never was anything half so splendid.
Ask anyone of sound, natural judgment, how many sensible, edifying, worthy women are found at once in a ball-room or concert-room, or any other rendezvous of fashionable society. The answer, if not convincing, would at least be surprising.
A public singer who has the power to move us at her will, comes into the concert-room, and gives her music without spirit and without making any apparent effort to please. We say that Madame or Mademoiselle is "not in the mood to-night."
