Musicians, in order to express their grand ideas, must assemble two hundred men in white neckties, or in costumes, and spend hundreds of thousands of rubles for the equipment of an opera. And the products of this art cannot evoke from the people even if the latter could at any time enjoy it any thing except amazement and ennui.
The colored metals were skillfully mixed to form stripes and checks of various sorts, so that the costumes were quite gorgeous and reminded Dorothy of pictures she had seen of Knights of old clothed armor. Aside from their flat heads, these people were not really bad looking. The men were armed with bows and arrows and had small axes of steel stuck in their metal belts.
This was put in so the tenor could wear his white duck uniform; he had to wear something, and when the management found that he had a white duck uniform every tenor has, you know, or he wouldn't be a tenor when the management found that he had a uniform they took the money they had advanced for costumes away from him and rewrote the first act.

Clever, very clever!" interposed Mr. Rider, bestowing a glance of admiration upon the bowed and shivering figure before him.
But she was always an imposing figure and as close to being the first power in San Francisco society as that happy-go-lucky independent class would ever tolerate. Kirkpatrick liked Mrs. Hunter, regarding her as "an honest plain-spoken dame without any frills." This estimate applied not only to her temperament but to her costumes.
"Where do you suppose they came from?" asked Marjorie. "Grandma said some old relative in Philadelphia sent her the chest, some time ago, but she's never opened it."
