Giraudier, pharmacien, première classe, is the legend, recorded in huge, ill-proportioned letters, which directs the attention of the stranger to the most prosperous-looking shop in the grand place of La Croix Rousse, a well-known suburb of the beautiful city of Lyons, which has its share of the shabby gentility and poor pretence common to the suburban commerce of great towns.
They very sincerely did not want to go back whence they had come, preferring captivity, humiliation, and the basest tasks to a share in the great glory of German arms. To me they had a brutalised air, no doubt one minor consequence of military ambition in high places. Not many minutes away was a hospital what the French call an ambulance de premiere ligne, contrived out of a factory.
But then it must be borne in mind that the premiere danseuse is a lady whose quickness of perception is altogether unique. The premiere danseuse knows precisely what a gentleman means when he twirls round forty-seven times on one leg, and then stands on his head. The average foreigner would, in all probability, completely misunderstand the man.
If she was allowed to pick the other woman, she could just put up with a partie carrée. But she hadn't picked out Lady Derl. Lady Derl was something that had never touched her world except from a box across the footlights on an occasional première. One flash of Folly's eyes took in Lady Derl, and then her long lashes drooped before Lady Derl had time to take in Folly. Folly's whole self drooped.
In this class may be reckoned members of the profession, who, with a strange disregard for the convenience of the management, demand a couple of stalls for the première, though they are in the habit of complaining that a first performance does justice neither to the piece nor to the players.
'I want to see whether this jeune premiere really is so ugly. Upon my word, one might fancy the government appointed her in the interests of morality, so that the young men might not lose their heads over her. Sanin handed her the opera-glass, and as she took it from him, swiftly, but hardly audibly, she snatched his hand in both of hers. 'Please don't be serious, she whispered with a smile.
"Ma chere, Monsieur Y devient vraiment un medium de premiere force!" In moments of great excitement she always addressed me in French. But I also was too excited to control my feelings, and so I answered rather unkindly: "Please stop this nonsense, Miss X . You know I don't believe in spiritualism. Poor Mr. Y , was not he upset?"
Webber, the Judge of the Court of Première Instance, who is an excellent pianist, gives us proof of his talent. This is the last pleasant music we are fated to hear for many a month, for nothing but concertinas and gramophones are found in the interior.
Little member of the crew immersing his guess-what in a can of some liquid or other, groaning from time to time, staggers when the boat tilts. "Merci bien, Monsieur!" That was the proper thing. Now for the never can reach it here's the premiere classe one any port in a storm.... Feel better now. Narrowly missed American officer but just managed to make it.
"Let us enter," said I. "I have the run of the house, and we may find " "'Some young vices some fair iniquities'" interrupted Vincent, with a hiccup "'Leade on good fellowe, quoth Robin Hood, Lead on, I do bid thee." And with these words, the door opened in obedience to my rap, and we mounted to the marquis's tenement au premiere.
