We have reason to know that Miss Snevellicci IS the lady who was implicated in that mysterious and romantic affair, and whose conduct on that occasion did no less honour to her head and heart, than do her histrionic triumphs to her brilliant genius. A copious assortment of such paragraphs as these, with long bills of benefits all ending with 'Come Early', in large capitals, formed the principal contents of Miss Snevellicci's scrapbook.
'You have seen him, sir? said Miss Snevellicci's papa. 'No, really I never did, replied Nicholas. 'You never saw my friend Glavormelly, sir! said Miss Snevellicci's papa. 'Then you have never seen acting yet. If he had lived 'Oh, he is dead, is he? interrupted Nicholas. 'He is, said Mr Snevellicci, 'but he isn't in Westminster Abbey, more's the shame. He was a . Well, no matter.
The people in the Borum box rose as one man, waving their hats and handkerchiefs, and uttering shouts of 'Bravo! Mrs Borum and the governess cast wreaths upon the stage, of which, some fluttered into the lamps, and one crowned the temples of a fat gentleman in the pit, who, looking eagerly towards the scene, remained unconscious of the honour; the tailor and his family kicked at the panels of the upper boxes till they threatened to come out altogether; the very ginger-beer boy remained transfixed in the centre of the house; a young officer, supposed to entertain a passion for Miss Snevellicci, stuck his glass in his eye as though to hide a tear.
'What a dear that Mr Digby is! said Miss Snevellicci, as the tailor went off on the opposite side, at the end of the piece, with great applause. 'I'll tell him presently, for his gratification, that you said so, returned Nicholas. 'Oh you naughty thing! rejoined Miss Snevellicci.
It was arranged that Nicholas should call upon her, at her lodgings, at eleven next morning, and soon after they parted: he to return home to his authorship: Miss Snevellicci to dress for the after-piece: and the disinterested manager and his wife to discuss the probable gains of the forthcoming bespeak, of which they were to have two-thirds of the profits by solemn treaty of agreement.
Mr Folair having obligingly confided these particulars to Nicholas, left him to mingle with his fellows; the work of personal introduction was completed by Mr Vincent Crummles, who publicly heralded the new actor as a prodigy of genius and learning. 'I beg your pardon, said Miss Snevellicci, sidling towards Nicholas, 'but did you ever play at Canterbury? 'I never did, replied Nicholas.
'Closed! cried Miss Snevellicci, trembling so much in her tights that she actually laid her hand upon the shoulder of the manageress for support. 'Why he don't mean to say he's going! exclaimed Mrs Grudden, making her way towards Mrs Crummles. 'Hoity toity! Nonsense.
However, it was impossible to scold her, as she was the manager's daughter, so Nicholas took it all in perfect good humor and walked on, with Miss Snevellicci, arm in arm, on one side, and the offending infant on the other.
'One good turn deserves another, said Mr Snevellicci. 'I love them and they love me. And as if this avowal were not made in sufficient disregard and defiance of all moral obligations, what did Mr Snevellicci do? He winked winked openly and undisguisedly; winked with his right eye upon Henrietta Lillyvick! The collector fell back in his chair in the intensity of his astonishment.
'You must come home and see mama, who only came to Portsmouth today, and is dying to behold you. Led, my dear, persuade Mr Johnson. 'Oh, I'm sure, returned Miss Ledrook, with considerable vivacity, 'if YOU can't persuade him Miss Ledrook said no more, but intimated, by a dexterous playfulness, that if Miss Snevellicci couldn't persuade him, nobody could.
