She pushed him aside, and opening a purse which was well stuffed with banknotes, she asked in French, which she spoke with a marked foreign accent, for how much I would sell Mephisto. The artist protested, but she turned on him and gave him a tongue lashing of which I could guess the meaning, although the words were unintelligible to me.
Mogley?" replied the dramatic editor, absently, lighting one himself. "Thank you, sir. I was this evening, but am not now, the leading comedian of the company that played Wilkins's 'Faust' at the Theatre. I played Mephisto." My wife is extremely ill. If she knew I was a failure, it would kill her, so I told her I made a success. I have really never made a success in my life.
And that was why you might have seen a Mephisto and a slender troubadour of lovely form, with mandolin flung across his shoulder, followed by a bevy of jockeys and ballet girls, laughing and singing as they swept down Rampart Street.
And, as a sentimental argument against it, we were told by the Humanitarian Leaguers that it is 'obscene. This is just what might be expected, and bears out the foregoing remarks. But such saintly simplicity reminds us of the kind of squeamishness of which our old acquaintance Mephisto observes: Man darf das nicht vor keuschen Ohren nennen, Was keusche Herzen nicht entbehren konnen.
Silence; or rather, she no longer heard the speakers. Then a low chuckle came to her and this chuckle broadened into ironic laughter; and she knew that Mephisto was abroad. What had been the wager; and what was the meaning of the six months? It is instinctive in woman to interpret the human voice correctly, especially when the eyes are not distracted by physical presentations.
Mephisto knew its way about its old cage so well that it gave no evidence of blindness, and a bear is naturally clumsy in its movements, but when we moved it to a strange den it stumbled over everything. I experimented by bringing Tramp in front of its cage, but with the loss of sight the hypnotic power has apparently deserted it, and the cat paid no attention to it.
He had stepped in so quietly that he stood there a little while without being observed, smiling down at them with triumphant malice behind the mask he wore. Perhaps it was the black visor that was responsible for the Mephisto effect, since it hid all the face but the leering eyes. These, narrowed to slits, swept the room and came back to its occupants.
I had Mephisto, as the bear was named, put in a cage well away from the other animals a sort of quarantine precaution which I always take with new arrivals and as there was apparently nothing unusual about him gave him little attention, there being for the moment no group of animals in training for which he would be available.
"You have intruded upon forbidden ground. None but the chosen may enter here and escape with life." "Not one!" chorused all the masks in deep and dismal unison. Mephisto made a signal. Once more the freshmen were seized. "Away with them!" shouted the fellow in red. In another moment all but Frank had been hustled out of the room. Then Frank was suddenly held fast and blindfolded.
Flew he never so fast mephisto was there an instant before him. As for the gentleman at the door he was encumbered with his hurt companion, who fell across his knees as he rushed at the burglar. brutus got a start of some seconds and dashed furiously into the kitchen and flew to the only door between them and the scullery-window.
