Now it is true, and I ought to take notice of it also, that, though these things happen, and may wrong a tradesman, yet it is oftener, ten times for once, that tradesmen neglect their shop and business to follow the track of their vices and extravagence some by taverns, others to the gaming-houses, others to balls and masquerades, plays, harlequins, and operas, very few by too much religion.
Pantomimes made more attractive The Restrictive Policy of the Patent Houses "Mother Goose" and "George Barnwell" at Covent Garden Lively Audiences "Jane Shore" "Harlequin Pat and Harlequin Bat" "The first speaking opening" Extravagence in Extravaganzas The doom of the old form of Pantomime Its revival in a new form A piece of pure Pantomime Present day Mimetic Art "L'Enfant Prodigue" A retrospect The old with the new, and conclusion.
That was a horrible extravagence; for this Governor was inferior to me, & I was not under any obligation to recognize his favor; besides, I had never made any presents but to the chiefs of the nations. Moreover, it was not for our Governor to censure my conduct.
He flattered the intellect of every man he liked; he made me tell him long Irish stories and compared my art of story-telling to Homer's; and once when he had described himself as writing in the census paper 'age 19, profession genius, infirmity talent, the other guest, a young journalist fresh from Oxford or Cambridge, said 'What should I have written? and was told that it should have been 'profession talent, infirmity genius. When, however, I called, wearing shoes a little too yellow unblackened leather had just become fashionable I understood their extravagence when I saw his eyes fixed upon them; an another day Wilde asked me to tell his little boy a fairy story, and I had but got as far as 'Once upon a time there was a giant' when the little boy screamed and ran out of the room.
