If they fawned, so much the better: it would not hurt him, and Mosenthal would still have his advertisement. If they were indifferent, well, so was he. He could paint a picture in a month which would keep him for six, and the dealer who bought it probably for a year.
Are you not my dear son Leopold who left the house of his father and left the god of his fathers Abraham and Jacob? Mosenthal. All that's left of him. What you call them running chaps? Only that once. RUDOLPH: Once! Mud head to foot. Cut your hand open. Lockjaw. They make you kaputt, Leopoldleben. You watch them chaps. It was muddy. I slipped. Nice spectacles for your poor mother! BLOOM: Mamma!
When the next morning came, Oswyn felt desperately inclined to break the promise which Mosenthal had, with some difficulty, exacted from him, and to keep far from Bond Street and the crowd who even then were assembling to cast their careless glances and light words at the work of his life; it was only the fear of the taint of cowardice, and a certain perversity, which induced him eventually to present himself within the gallery rather late in the afternoon.
It irritated him, in spite of his contempt for the throng, to see people standing, chatting, with their backs turned towards his creations; and when Mosenthal informed him in a triumphant stage-whisper, leaning across the table littered with catalogues, that nine of the pictures had already found purchasers, he was almost inclined to rebel, to refuse to ratify the sales.
"Don't forget Mosenthal and little Perkins, and the waiter you brought home and fed for a week, and sent away in your best overcoat, which he pawned the next day; or the two boys at college. Aren't you ever going to learn?" and she leaned forward and kissed the top of his bald head. Peter's only reply was to reach up and smooth her jewelled fingers with his own.
Mosenthal, the author of "Deborah," has achieved distinction by aiming at something higher than stage effect. Previous to his time, the two systems most in vogue were the sensualism of Locke and his followers and the idealism of Leibnitz, Wolf, and others.
His house at Brookfield, Conn., contained not only a grand piano, but a pipe organ as well; and Hawley's mother was blessed with a beautiful and cultivated voice. He went to New York at the age of seventeen, studying the voice with George James Webb, Rivarde, Foederlein, and others, and composition with Dudley Buck, Joseph Mosenthal, and Rutenber.
I'll have a pageant of the world's beginnings, and Mosenthal shall do the music. I'll 'Go and knock up a village for 'em by to-night. We'll meet you at No. 15 West Landing Tower, said De Forest. 'Remember the rest will be coming along to-morrow. 'Let 'em all come! said Vincent.
The libretto by Mosenthal is one of rare excellence in its skilful treatment of situations and arrangement of scenes with the view to spectacular and dramatic effect. The Biblical story has but little to do with the action of the opera beyond the mere fact of the famous visit of the Queen of Sheba to Solomon.
Well, all was now over. The 'lament' must sound over Heronsbeck. Mosenthal must take the estate; he himself would take Lily abroad and live forgotten, for he had rejected Mosenthal's proposal now, absolutely. Just at this decisive moment he distinctly heard the cry of a peacock sound weird and discordant without. 'The peacock's cry! It was as the wail of the banshee in his ear.
