Munden's and mine, rapidly became that of persons having such a treasure to dispose of. The world I speak of course mainly of the art-world flocked to see it. "But has she any idea herself, poor thing?" was the way I had put it to Mrs. Munden on our next meeting after the incident at my studio; with the effect, however, only of leaving my friend at first to take me as alluding to Mrs.
That he did see him there we know from Raymond's book, where an amusing occurrence is described, illustrating Munden's frugality. It seems that Lamb, Elliston and Munden drove together to Warwick Castle. Wrench. See notes to "The Old Actors." Wrench succeeded Elliston at Bath, and played in the same parts, and with something of the same manner.
You think of Sagittarius, in the broad circle of the Zodiac; you recollect that archery is as old as Genesis; you are reminded that Ishmael, the son of Hagar, wandered about the Judæan deserts and became an archer. Edwin. He was well known in Nipperkin, one of Munden's parts. Farley...Knight...Liston. Sir Christopher Curry...Old Dornton.
He now retired with a respectable fortune, and lived in genteel style in Bernard-street, Russell Square, till his 74th year. Munden's style of acting was exuberant with humour.
She drank deep, on her side too, of the cup the cup that for her own lips could only be bitterness. There was, I think, scarce a special success of her companion's at which she wasn't personally present. Mrs. Munden's theory of the silence in which all this would be muffled for them was none the less, and in abundance, confirmed by our observations.
I was much occupied in those months at any rate, and these questions and their ramifications losing themselves for a while to my view, I was only brought back to them by Mrs. Munden's arrival one day with the news that we were all right again her sister-in-law was once more "suited." A certain Mrs.
I shall therefore reserve myself for the conclusion, and now call upon the Secretary to read the proceedings." Effect of the show seems to be very good. Some persons, girls and women, received three prizes. Theatre. Munden's farewell. Dosey and Sir Robert Bramble; among the finest pieces of acting I ever saw, rich, warm, and full of unadulterated strength.
Munden's tone, with the way she appeared to muse a moment, even suggested to me that what she "oughtn't" was perhaps what Lady Beldonald had too much neglected. "She hasn't got on." "What's the matter with her?" "Well, to begin with, she's American." "But I thought that was the way of ways to get on." "It's one of them. But it's one of the ways of being awfully out of it too. There are so many!"
That she did soon fill it up and, heaven help us, how was put before me after an interval of no great length, but during which I hadn't seen her. I dined on the Christmas of last year at Mrs. Munden's, and Nina, with a "scratch lot," as our hostess said, was there, so that, the preliminary wait being longish, she could approach me very sweetly.
It is true his ear is not sufficiently familiar with the language to understand French verse, and he generally goes to sleep during the performance. The wit of the French comedy is flat and pointless to him. He would not give one of Munden's wry faces or Liston's inexpressible looks for the whole of it. He will not admit that Paris has any advantage over London.
