Indeed this is a clear test whereby you may distinguish the great artists from the mean hucksters and charlatans, that the first approach and reveal what is dreadful with calm and, as it were, with a purpose to use it for good while the vulgar catchpenny fellows must liven up their bad dishes as with a cheap sauce of the horrible, caring nothing, so that their shrieks sell, whether we are the better for them or no.
"Now Jack," said Murray, as in due process we reached our box and sat gazing at the crowds about and below us, "it strikes me that we should have a small bet of some sort on the different races, just to liven things up a bit. What say we go down into the betting ring and have a look at the odds?"
"Yes, my dear," says Mrs. Kimberly; "come and liven us up sometimes. It's been very delightful to see you young people enjoy yourselves so much and you old people too," says she, and laughed at her husband, who maybe was some illuminated. It was plain enough to me when they went away that our place had turned out better'n they thought it would.
Perry, laughing, "but we're getting to be old people, and we want you young folks to liven us up." "Old people!" and Patty smiled at the pretty young matron. "Yes, wait till you see my baby.

Kitty and Billy, who seemed in high spirits, tried to give the meal an air of gaiety, but Mr. Fenelby was glum and his wife naturally reflected some of his feeling, and after a few attempts to liven things Kitty and Billy turned their attention to each other and left the Fenelbys alone with their gloom.

Don't want to go down and out so early in the evening, old sport!" "Desert girl, huh?" thickly muttered Basil Filer. "Huh I know somethin' 'bout you.
"My arms are like logs," she said, "and so are my feet. My 'guides' say that if you will put one palm to my forehead and the tips of your fingers at the base of my brain it will help me to liven up." I did as she requested, and was at once conscious of great heat and turmoil in her head. It appeared to throb as if in receding excitement. She seemed at the moment small and bloodless.
"An' a leetle bacon, jes' ter liven it up, hey? That's right! It's my idee thet most everythin' 's the better for a bit o' bacon, unless it's soft custard. I d' 'no ez thet 'ud go with it pitickler. Haw! haw!" Hilda kept her eyes on her plate, determined to pay no attention to the vulgar pleasantries of this unkempt monster.
And when both parties, of which one ascribed everything to Japanese intrigue and the other found an explanation in elementary causes, began to liven up, the debate was apt to wax pretty warm.
