He adores music, and was as fascinated with your Siebel as myself. May I present him? Then she will say, 'Oh, yes, by all means; and I shall introduce you. Then you can make love to her. That will be droll. Fanny, I'll tell you every word he says." "Make love to her!" cried Vizard. "Is this your estimate of a brother's motives.
Well, Ned, I was mistaken. Yesterday night I met my Fate once more." "Where? In Frankfort?" "No: at Homburg; at the opera. You must give me your word not to tell a soul." "I pledge you my word of honor." "Well, the lady who sung the part of Siebel." "Siebel?" muttered Severne. "Yes," said Vizard, dejectedly.
I assure you that the master of this house is fanatico per la musica; heard you sing Siebel at Homburg raved about you wanted to call on you. We had to drag him away from the place; and he declares you are the first singer in the world; and you cannot doubt his sincerity, for here are the pearls."
Siebel had just been there and had plucked a nosegay for the maiden of his heart, first dipping his fingers in holy water, to protect them from the curse which Mephistopheles had pronounced against them while parading as a fortune-teller at the fair. She finds the jewels, ornaments herself with them, carolling her delight the while, and admiring the regal appearance which the gems lend her.
Marguerite with her box of jewels, the church scene, Siebel and his flowers, and Faust and Mephistopheles. The latter brought Tommy's mind back to Mr. Brown again. In this sealed and closed chamber, with its close-fitting heavy door, he felt cut off from the world, and the sinister power of the arch-criminal seemed more real. Shout as he would, no one could ever hear him.
"Yes," said Silas. "That's it. I'll tell thee. Pour some more hot water in here. Dost remember when th' Carl Rosa Opera Company was at Theatre Royal last year? I met her then. Her was one o' Venus's maidens i' th' fust act o' Tannhäuser, and her was a bridesmaid i' Lohengrin, and Siebel i' Faust, and a cigarette girl i' summat else.
Then she opened the piano, played an introduction, and electrified them all by singing the leading song in Siebel. She did not sing it so powerfully as in the theater; she would not have done that even if she could: but still she sung it out, and nobly. It seemed a miracle to hear such singing in a room. Vizard was in raptures.
Fred's verses were not good, but they were full of dejection. The poor fellow compared Raoul Wermant to Faust, and himself to Siebel. He spoke of The youth whose eyes were brimming with salt tears, Whose heart was troubled by a thousand fears, Poor slighted lover!-since in his heavy heart All his illusions perish and depart. Again, he wrote of Siebel: O Siebel! thine is but the common fate!
Their first meeting is a casual one; but subsequently he finds her in her garden, and with the help of the subtle Mephistopheles succeeds in engaging the young girl's affection. Her simple lover, Siebel, is discarded, and his nosegay is thrown away at sight of the jewels with which Faust tempts her. When Valentin returns from the wars he learns of her temptation and subsequent ruin.

Yppolito; Wagner, D. Coletti.
