I rather think my agent left me with the same opinion of my competency in business that Mr. Macready had expressed as to my proficiency in my profession, namely, that "I did not know the rudiments of it." Mr.
Ainsworth, Forster, Lover, Macready, Jerdan and other close friends were invited, and the dinner took place at The Prince of Wales Coffee House and Hotel in Leicester Place, Leicester Square. It is very curious that no extended account of this historic event exists.
His collected works fill forty volumes. There are more of Dickens' books sold every year now than in any year in which he lived. There were more of Dickens' books sold last year than any previous year. "I am glad that the public buy his books," said Macready; "for if they did not he would take to the stage and eclipse us all."
Among the motley and brilliant crowd with which Browning had now begun to mingle, there was no figure more eccentric and spontaneous than that of Macready the actor.
I had not long speculated on this disagreeable subject, when the back garden-door opened, and the figures of Andrew and his country-man bending under his pack crossed the moonlight alley, and called my attention elsewhere. I found Mr. Macready, as I expected, a tough, sagacious, long-headed Scotchman, and a collector of news both from choice and profession.
But responsibility is not so easily shaken off, and in real life as well as in tragedy, conscience will force a man to cry: "Out! damned blood spot! Out, I say!" Macready left the country, and the excitement died away; but the painful memories of this absurd yet deadly riot will remain till the present generation has passed from the stage.
Macready commenced a practical reformation of this abuse, for which his name will be ever respected, our own comparatively purified stage was just the same?
Her sister had married in 1834, and left her free to live for her own pursuits and her own friends; and Mr. Browning must have seen more of her then than was possible in his boyish days. None, however, of these intimacies were, at the time, so important to him as that formed with the great actor Macready. They were introduced to each other by Mr.
Macready whose utterance of "Nearest his heart" was the blood-curdling keynote of his whole infernal ideal declared the part to be "composed of harshness," and he saw no humanity in the lament for the loss of Leah's ring, but only a lacerated sense of the value of that jewel.
Macready in the new tragedy, or Mademoiselle Ellssler in her last new ballet and flesh-colored stockinnet pantaloons, out of a pure love of abstract poetry and beauty; or from a strong notion that we shall be excited, in different ways, by the actor and the dancer?
