The first of these lapses that he sharply noticed concerned a hilarious party he had once attended at a driving club, of which he had been a member. He sat, gazing downward, and gradually thought he heard the old voices and the clink of glasses. "You're a dandy, Hurstwood," his friend Walker said. He was standing again well dressed, smiling, good-natured, the recipient of encores for a good story.
I don't always understand what Swing is driving at, but that may be my fault. And say, if you find you need five thousand from me, just let me know, and the money is yours." There is no use trying to work the apotheosis of Philip D. Armour: he was in good sooth a man. "I make mistakes but I do not respond to encores," he used to say.
'Held a prisoner by a band of savage Indians subdued by the spell of her wonderful voice' wouldn't that make great stuff? But I guess I quit the game winner, anyhow there ought to be a couple of thousand dollars in that sack of gold dust I collected as encores, don't you think?" He left her at the door of the little Hotel de Buen Descansar, where she had stopped before.
I don't know what this is all about; but I'll soon see, and block any encores." "Quite right," says Mr. Hubbard. "This is all extremely annoying. Such a rabble!" "Positively disgusting!" adds Pinckney. "A crowd of smelly foreigners! Shorty, you should put a stop to this." "Trust me," says I. "Ah, here we have the guilty party!" and in comes Swifty towin' Eggleston K. by the collar.
This time he let the crowd have two encores and the show was over; for the astute manager, seeing how the girl had caught on, had moved her second number to the end. Burlingham lingered in the entrance to the auditorium to feast himself on the comments of the crowd as it passed out.
Oh, how lovely are my flowers When the twilight shadows creep, Hosts of fairy folks come trooping, Where my flowers lie asleep." Surely no singer was ever more graciously received. There were to be no encores because of limited time. Lights were usually out at nine-thirty, but the socials were from eight to ten. The concert must be brief to allow sufficient time afterward for games.
He was over there that's all I know about it," and Phil pointed with his hand into a crowd on their left. "We can take a look around for him between the parts and after the concert," said Dave; and then the brass band struck up and the concert began. The various musical numbers were well rendered, and encores were numerous.
He told too of how the top gallery of the old Royal used to be packed night after night, of how one night an Italian tenor had sung five encores to Let me like a Soldier fall, introducing a high C every time, and of how the gallery boys would sometimes in their enthusiasm unyoke the horses from the carriage of some great prima donna and pull her themselves through the streets to her hotel.
A husky soloist breaks into one of the deathless ditties of the new Scottish Laureate; his comrades take up the air with ready response; and presently we are all swinging along to the strains of "I Love a Lassie," "Roaming in the Gloaming" and "It's Just Like Being at Hame" being rendered as encores.
The day had passed; it was gone like a hundred days before it wearily, perhaps, yet leaving in the mind an impression of something done, of duties honestly accomplished. 'Oh, ma'am! Hender broke in, 'you can't think how amusing it was last night! I never enjoyed myself so much in my life. The place was crammed! Such a house! And Miss Leslie got three encores and a call after each act.
