But thinking of Alice's health only, and, above all, anxious that her marriage with his son should be consummated during his lifetime, no sacrifice appeared to him too great to make. The weather was still delightful, and as the soirées, assemblies, and matinées had not yet commenced, a party was formed to go to Mount Vernon. The day fixed upon was a brilliant one, in the latter part of November.
Whether he played at court the Queen can tell; Niecks cannot. He met Jenny Lind-Goldschmidt and liked her exceedingly as did all who had the honor of knowing her. She sided with him, woman-like, in the Sand affair echoes of which had floated across the channel and visited him in Paris in 1849. Chopin gave two matinees at the houses of Adelaide Kemble and Lord Falmouth June 23 and July 7.
The chief will spot you quicker than he can a missing shoe, a missing horseshoe, Johnny, let me elaborate for your comprehension, and the next question will be, 'Mr. Bluestrap, did you intentionally absent yourself? and then how will you get out of it?" The matinées, so called, were by no means unpopular features of the daily routine.
Maddison, talk a good deal about being overworked, but you know nothing of the life of a chaperon in the season. I tell Helen that she is sadly wanting in gratitude. We do everything worth doing picture galleries, matinées, shopping, afternoon calls, dinners, dances, receptions why, there's no slavery like it." Helen laughed softly. "We do a great deal too much, aunt," she said.
I gave two matinees, which it appears have given pleasure, but which, for all that, did not the less bore me. My health is not altogether bad, but I become more feeble, and the air here does not yet agree with me. Miss Stirling was going to write to you from London, and asks me to beg you to excuse her.
Directly after cutting Grace Harlowe, she had turned her runabout into Main Street, where a billboard had caught her eye, displaying in glaring red and blue lettering the fact that the "Peerless Dramatic Company" would open a week's engagement in Oakdale with daily matinées. Eleanor's eyes sparkled. She halted her machine, scanning curiously the list of plays on the billboard.
There are many things that I, personally, love better than fashion or wealth. Not to speak of those highest objects of our love and loyalty, I think I love ease and independence better than the golden slavery of perpetual matinees and soirees, or the pleasures of accumulation.
'Including such a day as you had yesterday? How can you play the White Lady twice in one day? It's enough to wear you out. 'Oh, everybody does it. I was bound to give a matinée to the profession some time, and yesterday had been fixed for it for ages. But I have only given three matinées altogether, and I shan't give another before my time is up. 'That's a good hearing, said Kendal.
It is the only thing approaching a theatre which the commune boasts. It is well lighted, with big windows in the sides, and a top-light over the stage. It is almost new, and the walls and pointed ceiling are veneered with some Canadian wood, which looks like bird's-eye maple, but isn't. It is in that hall that the matinées, which are given every other Sunday afternoon, take place.
The children made many pleasant friends, enjoyed their school life, their Saturday matinees and drives in the park, and not one of them would have liked to return to Knollwood. As for my wife and myself, our enjoyment of the life was beyond question. We had always been fond of the theatre and now we saw everything worth seeing.
