It was attempted to be encored. How hard! a thing I did merely as a task, because it was wanted, and set no great store by; and "Mr. H."! The quantity of friends we had in the house my brother and I being in public offices, etc. was astonishing; but they yielded at last to a few hisses. The former come more directly from, the heart. Well, 't is withdrawn, and there is an end. Better luck to us,
She wasn't expected to talk, she had no time to worry, she could dance well, and she did. Kenneth Saunders came up in the pause before the dance was encored, and asked for the "next but one," there were no cards at the Brownings; all over the hall girls were nodding over their partners' shoulders, in answer to questions, "Next, Louise?" "Next waltz one after that, then?" "I'm next, remember!"
The great sheiks, Rahonka and Kittakara, arrived, together with Lokara and Quonga, and the smaller fry, Pittia and Mallegge. The latter was my guide to the Albert N'yanza many years ago. "The 'Forty Thieves' and the band received them on arrival. The band was, of course, encored, all being delighted with the big drum and the cymbals. The latter were examined as great curiosities.
And so we went. And every time the woman sang they hissed and laughed the whole magnificent house and as soon as she left the stage they called her on again with applause. Once or twice she was encored five and six times in succession, and received with hisses when she appeared, and discharged with hisses and laughter when she had finished then instantly encored and insulted again!
The man drew himself up like an angry cock, and said: "Certainly. Why shouldn't I understand it as well as you?" And by way of showing that he understood it he encored a fugue, glaring defiantly at Christophe. Christophe went away. He was amazed.
As the wedding festivities of Princess Amalie and Prince Henry of the Netherlands will not take place till after the middle of May, I shall not be with you before the first days of June. Seven or eight weeks must therefore still elapse. The "Tannhauser" overture was received with enthusiasm and encored at Prague, as Laub told me, who was present at the performance.
It is to be regretted that the Widow Ross has no voice, as a song in character was of course expected; the Farmer certainly gave "a fair challenge to a fair lady." His Daniel Cooper was given in an excellent style, and was loudly encored. April 28.
His astonished face rose slowly from the pot of ale like a full moon. "What 'ud I do that for?" he gasped. "Five shillings, I hope," said I, "but I am prepared to go to ten." He gurgled. I encored his pot of ale. He kept on gurgling. I argued with the man. I spoke splendidly. I was eloquent, but at the same time concise. My choice of words was superb.
Daniel seemed to be torn limb from limb, Punch, all the time, roaring like a thousand beasts of the forest, and treating his victim as tenderly as if he were wooing a sucking dove. The entertainment when there were young persons at the house was of nightly occurrence, and always repeatedly encored. Punch, however, never cared to play Lion to the Daniel of anybody else.
Alcina carried the Opera on to the end of the season, the well-known air "Verdi prati," which Carestini had at first refused to sing, being encored at every performance. Handel's alleged angry retort to Carestini in comical broken English has been often quoted from Burney; but Schoelcher very sensibly observed that Handel was pretty certain to have conversed with Carestini in Italian.
