The improvisation went wildly and adventurously on, and the curtains dropped together amidst the facile acclaim of the audience: "It's very well for Jupiter that he happened to think of the curtain," said Mrs. Brinkley. "They couldn't have kept it up at that level much longer." "Oh, do you think so?" softly murmured Mrs. Pasmer. "It seemed as if they could have kept it up all night if they liked."
He was Polish, this the public appreciated, but of Chopin the individual they missed entirely the flavor.

If you are 'artistic, you may choose between a large coloured photograph of the Eiffel Tower, a carbon print of Botticelli, and a reproduction of an 'improvisation' by Herr Kandinsky.
So closely balanced was the equilibrium between the improvisation of defence and the increase of pressure behind the jam that it seemed as if even a moment's breathing spell would bring the deluge. Piles quivered, bent slowly outward immediately, before the logs behind them could stir, the pile-driver must do its work.
