The acting, by the Sicilian actors, of "La Figlia di Jorio," seemed to me to do something towards the solution of part at least of this problem. The play, as one reads it, has perhaps less than usual of the beauty which d'Annunzio elaborates in his dramatic speech.
"What's the matter?" Vere appeared at the window, looking frightened. "Hermione, what is it?" Emile was there beside her. And he, too, looked anxious, almost alarmed. "I only wanted to let you know I had come back," said Hermione, crushing down her excitement and forcing herself to smile. "But why did you call like that?" Vere spoke. "Like what? What do you mean, figlia mia?" "It sounded "
There is no time at which what the Italians call la figlia della Morte lays her cold hand upon a man more awfully than during the first half hour that he is alone with a woman whom he has married but never genuinely loved. Death's daughter did not spare Theobald. He had behaved very well hitherto.
Not merely did she go through the entire range of her old parts, Susanna, Moslna, Desdemona, Donna Anna, etc., but she presented herself in a number of new works which did not exist at her farewell to the stage Bellini's "Sonnambula," Donizetti's "Linda," "La Figlia del Reggimento," "Don Pasquale," "Le Tre Nozze" of Alary, and Ilalévy's "La Tempesta"; indeed, in the latter two creating the principal rôles.
"You were there then?" I was this morning, thought Jones, but he said: "How sinful Rigoletto is by comparison to Aïda by comparison I mean to the last act." The other duo now had become a quartette.

Almost any one would have said that the girl's terrors were fanciful, and that it was quite natural her brother, who would lose five hundred scudi by her change of purpose, should require her to work as other girls of her condition worked. "Cheer up and go with him, figlia mia," she said, "and leave all to me.
And he begins about the Figlia, and how she came along the bridge in the Sonnambula; and you feel the tenderness in his tone, as of a positive love for her whose voice seems still ringing through him as he talks. I have noticed exactly the same phenomenon when people who knew Mr. Brookfield hear his name mentioned in casual conversation. "Ah! Brookfield!
"Oughtn't we to prepare ourselves for them, then?" "Not too soon, I think. I am nearly sure that if you were to read Emile's books just yet you would regret it." Vere said nothing. "Don't you think you can trust me to judge for you in this matter, figlia mia? I I am almost certain that Emile himself would think as I do."
"Mia figlia," seized Wilfrid's ear. Mr. Pericles bellowed, "Allegro." Two minutes after Braintop felt a touch on his shoulder; and Wilfrid, speaking in a tone of friend to friend, begged him to go to town by the last train and remove Miss Belloni to an hotel, which he named.
