The memory of the first time that she had sung in public, at Adrienne's house in Somervell Street, came back to her. It had been just such an occasion as this. . . . . . . Adrienne had smiled at her encouragingly from across the room, and Jerry Leigh had been standing at the far end near some big double doors. There were double doors to this room, too, flung wide open.
Robert Somervell. Ruskin's dislike of railways has been the text of a great deal of misrepresentation, and his use of them, at all, has been often quoted as an inconsistency.
A week after her visit to Somervell Street, the thing which Diana had dreaded came to pass. She was attending a reception at the French Embassy, and as she made her way through the crowded rooms, followed by Olga Lermontof who frequently added to the duties of accompanist those of dame de compagnie to the great prima donna she came suddenly face to face with Max.
She felt as though she had drawn near some invisible web, of which every now and then a single filament brushed against her almost impalpable, yet touching her with the fleetest and lightest of contacts. During the weeks that followed, Diana became more or less an intimate at Adrienne's house in Somervell Street.
That he still visited Adrienne very frequently she was aware, but often, on his return from Somervell Street, he seemed so much depressed that she began at last to wonder whether those visits were really productive of any actual enjoyment. Possibly she had misjudged them her husband and her friend and it might conceivably be really only business matters which bound them together after all.
Very deliberately she replaced the receiver and rang off without reply. A small, fine smile curved her lips as she reflected that, within a few minutes, Max's arrival at Somervell Street would enlighten Miss de Gervais as to the fact that she had bean pouring out her reassuring remarks to the wrong person. Half an hour later Diana came slowly downstairs, dressed for dinner.
Investigations are made by Captain Frank Parker, assisted by Lieutenants William H. Jouett and H. F. Loomis. The cashier is Captain Francis H. Pope, with Lieutenants Francis W. Honeycutt and B.B. Somervell as assistants. When the history of the great war is written, a very honorable place will have to be reserved for the women of Paris.
A brilliant "depreciation" of Arnold and his school has recently appeared in Mr. Lytton Strachey's "Eminent Victorians." "Teachers though they are, Mr. Gollancz and Mr. Somervell do not seem quite to realise ... what obstacles have to be overcome before the advice given in their little book is generally taken." The Westminster Gazette.
A new work by Arthur Somervell was heard, and, though favourably received at first, like some other Festival compositions it seems now to have vanished into the ewigkeit. With regard to the Festival of 1900 just closed as these lines are being written I will say little. It has been financially successful, and perhaps that is the best that can be said of it.
A man whose heart's desire has been suddenly snatched from him might look so; no other. Max, oblivious of everything else, was reading the brief newspaper account at lightning speed. At last "I must go!" he said. "I must go round to Somervell Street at once."
