The secretary, who could not keep his eyes open, consented; and no sooner had he lain down than he was asleep. Some time after, his servant came to look for him, and awoke him; the bottles were still standing before the bed, but the poor secretary's pockets were emptied, and the sharper who had personated M. d'Isten had disappeared with their valuable contents.
Wild beasts were personated, too, as well as tame; for some nations were clothed in lions' skins, and others in panthers' skins the clothing being considered, apparently, the more honorable, in proportion to the ferocity of the brute to which it had originally belonged. The weapons, too, were of every possible form and guise.
The brute-tamer himself, dressed as the King of Diamonds, represented PLAY. His forehead was adorned with a diadem of gilded paper, his face was pale and impassible, and as his long, yellow beard fell down the front of his parti-colored robe, Morok looked exactly the character he personated.
Bowmore himself, alive and hearty, returning with Percy from the meeting at the Club! The inevitable inquiries and explanations followed. Bowmore turned pale, nevertheless, when he looked at the unoccupied peg on his clothes stand. Had some man unknown personated him? And had a post-chaise been hired to lead an impending pursuit of him in the wrong direction? What did it mean?
When Jupiter personated Amphytrion, and visited his bride Alcmena, the amorous god lengthened out the night in order to prolong his enjoyment. Why may we not believe this? Is it not as credible, and quite as moral, as the Bible story of Jehovah's lengthening out the day to prolong a massacre? Were the Greeks any bigger liars than the Jews?
Don John, as in his Moorish disguise he had looked upon her perfections, had felt in danger of becoming really the slave he personated "her beauty is more divine than human," he had cried, "but fitter to destroy men's souls than to bless them;" and now the enchantress was on her way to his dominions.
Catherine was there personated by Nell Gwyn; she lies stone-dead upon the stage, but, upon those gentlemen's offering to remove her body, whose business it is to carry off the slain in our English tragedies, she breaks out into that abrupt beginning of what was a very ludicrous, but at the same time thought a very good epilogue: "'Hold: are you mad? you damn'd confounded dog!
He thought I was Marmont; my aide-de-camp told him so." One loud burst of laughter interrupted the major at this moment, and it was some considerable time before he could continue his narrative. "And do you really mean," said I, "that you personated the Duke de Raguse?" "Did I not, though?
The fascination of sex was called in to aid the fascination of art: and the young spectator saw, with emotions unknown to the contemporaries of Shakspeare and Johnson, tender and sprightly heroines personated by lovely women. From the day on which the theatres were reopened they became seminaries of vice; and the evil propagated itself.
And Mungloo he that is more clever than all of us he that is cunning as a Thug Mungloo shall be the Nawab!" So they began with the murder of the Commissioner; and he who personated Kurreim Khan, the assassin, played so naturally, that he sent the Commissioner screaming to his mother, with an arrow sticking in his arm.
