Before long we would have a house on the Fifth Avenue so furnished that all the world should wonder; and another at Newport, where the world should not be admitted to wonder. Only think!" "And Madame Socani to look after the furniture!" said Rachel. "Madame Socani should be nowheres." "And I also will be nowheres. Pray remember that in making all your little domestic plans.
"Then why don't you leave her alone? A little wizened monkey like that!" It was thus that Madame Socani expressed her opinion of her rival. "A creature without an ounce of flesh on her bones. Her voice won't last long. It never does with those little mean made apes. There was Grisi and Tietjens, they had something of a body for a voice to come out of.
He had, in truth, always behaved well to her in whatever pecuniary transactions there had been between them. But he had ventured to make love to her, and had done so in a manner which had altogether disgusted her. She now waited till he paused for a moment in his eloquence, and then she spoke a word. "What about Madame Socani?" "What about Madame Socani?"
I know myself, I know my power. Madame Socani is a jealous woman. She would wish to be taken into partnership with me, not a partnership of hearts, but of theatres. She has come with some insolent message, but not from me; ah, not from me!" "You never tried to kiss me? You did not make two attempts?" "I would make two thousand if I were to consult my own heart."
There's no such success to be found anywhere for a young woman. If you will only just turn it in your mind, Mr. O'Mahony." Then Mr. Moss brushed his hat with the sleeve of his coat and took his leave. He had nearly told the entire truth to Mr. O'Mahony. He had never married Madame Socani. As far as Madame Socani knew, her veritable husband, Socani, was still alive. And it was not true that Mr.
"I never counted on fainting. If a girl faints, of course she loses all her chance. It was because I was ill. But poor Mr. Moss had the worst of it." Rachel, from the moment in which she fainted, never saw Mr. Moss any more. Madame Socani came to visit her, and told her father, when she failed to see her, that Mr. Moss had only three days to live.
Rachel had on one occasion sung with her, but it had been when she was little more than a child. "What is Madame Socani to me?" said Mr. Moss. "I believe her to be your wife." "Oh, heavens! My wife! I never had a wife, Miss O'Mahony; not yet! Why do you say things so cruel to me?" He, at any rate, she was sure, had sent her that message.
Moss shall know that through it all I have done my duty. Madame Socani will tell lies, but she shall feel in her heart that she has once in her life come across a woman who, when she has signed a bit of paper, intends to remain true to the paper signed. And, my lord, there is still £100 due to you from my father." "Gammon!" said the lord.
I have known that girl on the stage any day these ten years." "No, you've not; not yet five. I don't quite know how it is." And Mr. Moss endeavoured to think of it all in such a manner as to make it yet possible that he might marry her. What might not they two do together in the musical world? "You don't mean to say you'd take her yet?" said Madame Socani, with scorn.
Then Rachel flashed round upon the woman. "I suppose there was no Mr. Jones?" "O, mio tesor." These last three words were sung in a delicious contralto voice by Elmira, the Madame Socani of the occasion, and were addressed to the Prince of the Empire, who, for the last six weeks, had been neglecting her charms.
