The consul-general had, figuratively, a complete assortment of masks, such as any thorough play-actor might have, in more or less constant demand, running the gamut from comedy to tragedy. Some of these masks grew dusty between ships, but could quickly be made presentable. Sometimes, when large touring parties came into port, he confused his masks, being by habit rather an absent-minded man.
In the book 'twas Robert Penfold, who had been a convict. In your grandpa's case, 'twas your pa, who had been a play-actor. So you see " Albert sat up on the sofa. "Hold on!" he interrupted indignantly. "Do you mean to compare my father with a with a CONVICT? I want you to understand " Mrs. Ellis held up the dust-cloth. "Now, now, now," she protested.
"This must be the contemptible scoundrel they say she's in love with," he said to himself, swelling with indignation and spite filled with amazement too for he could not conceive of a woman's hesitating for an instant between the magnificent young Duke of Vallombreuse and this ridiculous play-actor.
He stood with his bonnet in his hand. Against his will the grief of his loss swept over him more masterfully than it had yet done, for those two sisters had never been seen by him before except in the company of their relative the little old woman with a face like a nut, and the sobs that shook him were checked by no reflection of the play-actor. He was incapable of utterance.
Greyle, mister, says that he has no recollection whatever of meeting this play-actor person in America he may have done and he mayn't. But he doesn't remember him, and it isn't likely he should him, an English landlord and a gentleman wouldn't be very like to remember a play-actor person that's here today and gone tomorrow! I hope I give no offence, sir maybe you're a play-actor yourself."
Or maybe Rachel might." "I might help you a little. But you read well?" "She said it was too too" she wrinkled up her forehead "too affected, like a play-actor." "Nonsense!" he cried disapprovingly. "We will see about some other school presently. Would you like to take a walk with me? I'm tired of the long stage-ride." "Oh, so much!" She caught one hand in both of hers and gave a few skips of joy.
"I thought she'd like a pig better than a Shakespeare one. She said she wondered Jean would go and make a fuss about the place a play-actor was born in. She says she wouldn't read a word he wrote, and she didn't seem to like the bits I said to her.... This isn't the first time, Richard Plantagenet, I've sat up for dinner." "Isn't it?" "No. I did it at Penrith and Shrewsbury and last night here."
And he paused agin, pointing one long white finger at the crowd I couldn't get away from thinking, as he stood there making them take that in, that they was something like a play-actor about him. But he was in earnest, and he would play it to the end, fur he liked the feelings it made circulate through his frame. And they saw he was in earnest.
"Sure, madam," I returned, "and that is the precise thought which has just occurred to me." "And I am of the opinion," she continued, "that you owe me some sort of explanation. For I had planned to elope with Mr. Vanringham " "Do I understand your Ladyship to allude to Mr. Francis Vanringham, the play-actor, at present the talk of Tunbridge?" She bowed a grave response.
What's your business, play-actor?" At the repetition of this last word, to her so mysterious, the girl outside pressed her eyes more eagerly to the chink and strained her ears to listen more sedulously. And what did the count mean by the "other one" and "a heavenly crown"? "Why not call me king?" asked Rudolf. "They call you that in Strelsau?" "Those that know I'm here." "And they are ?"
