It was a busy day. Lots of love. LONDON, March 20, 1898. DEAR MOTHER: The Nellie Farren benefit was the finest thing I have seen this year past. It was more remarkable than the Coronation, or the Jubilee.
All day Sunday they had raised the devil from attic to cellar; Mrs. Farren was in tears, Howker desperate. Not one out of the fifteen servants considered necessary to embellish the Seagrave establishment could do anything with them after Kathleen Severn's sudden departure the week before. When the telegram announcing her mother's sudden illness summoned young Mrs.
Parsons. Sir Benjamin Backbite Mr. Dodd. Rowley Mr. Aickin. Moses Mr. Baddeley. Trip Mr. Lamash. Snake Mr. Packer. Careless Mr. Farren. Sir Harry Bumper Mr. Gawdry. Lady Teazle Mrs. Abington. Maria Miss P. Hopkins Lady Sneerwell Miss Sherry. Mrs. Candor Miss Pope. The success of such a play, so acted, could not be doubtful.
Crabtree and Sir Benjamin those poor snakes that live but in the sunshine of your mirth must be ripened by this hot-bed process of realization into asps or amphisbaenas; and Mrs. Candour O! frightful! become a hooded serpent. No piece was, perhaps, ever so completely cast in all its parts as this manager's comedy. Miss Farren had succeeded to Mrs.
These present skimpy draperies cause one to reflect that Nature has not lavished broadcast the gift of good feet and neat ankles; possibly some girls might lengthen their skirts if they realised this truth. In the "seventies" there was a wonderful galaxy of talent at the old Gaiety Theatre, Nellie Farren, Kate Vaughan, Edward Terry, and Royce forming a matchless quartette.
"A little higher, please; look out there, Mrs. Farren!" said Scott calmly; "Harvard is going to score this time. Now, Geraldine!" Thump! came the kick, but Mrs. Farren had fled, and the big globe struck the nursery door and bounced back minus half of South America. For ten minutes the upper floors echoed with the racket.
The Canadians here, I believe, have the same opinion though they are very far from making verses upon any subject whatever; it is much more useful here to cut down trees which they can do with great dexterity. Quebec, 25th April, 1800. My worthy conty, gude Jock Warren, Thou's still jocose and ay auld farren, Gentle and kind, blythe, frank and free, And always unco' gude to me.
Harding?" "I always enjoy these pieces, they are so conscientiously illiterate; what I can't bear is unconscientious illiterateness. Nellie Farren has caught something of the jangle of modern life; she has something of the freshness of the music-hall about her that appeals to me very sharply." "Do you like music-halls? I have always heard they were so vulgar."
Having been partly dazed by the blow he had received, he had no clear recollection of the part he had taken in the scrimmage, though he had been conscious of burning anger when Farren was struck down. It was, however, difficult to believe that the engineer had been mistaken, because the locomotive lamp had lighted the track brilliantly.
The French minister also read extracts from a paper addressed to the Academy of Sciences, by an American gentleman named Warren, advocating the practicability of a canal, by means of the rivers Vinotinto, Beverardino, and Farren, after which he enthusiastically exclaimed, that should this great work ever be accomplished and in his own mind he had no doubt that some day or other it would then the value of Oceana would be greatly increased, and France would have many reasons to congratulate herself on the possession of them.
