At one climax so pure, so exalted, so tender, that I found tears in my own eyes, I saw him wink at some intimate friends who were sitting in a stage-box at his right. I was between them. They were watching him as they would have watched a friend who was an actor. He, on his part, was showing them what he could do. That wink said: 'See how I did that. Now observe me closely!
"Where are you going?" asked Freddie. "Over the top!" said Uncle Chris. "What do you mean?" "I am going," said Uncle Chris steadily, "to find Mrs Peagrim!" "Good God!" cried Freddie. He followed him, protesting weakly, but the other gave no sign that he had heard. Freddie saw him disappear into the stage-box, and, turning, found Jill at his elbow. "Where did Uncle Chris go?" asked Jill.
And even in the corridors there were those who set his talent above that of other dramatists. Greatly excited, nevertheless, he wandered from dressing-room to dressing-room or collapsed into a chair at the back of the director's stage-box. He was worrying about the critics. "Set your mind at rest," Romilly told him. "They will say of your play the good or bad things they think of Pradel.
"A pleasant journey to him." "Come, let us talk of something else; it may be a weakness, if you please, but I call this a dull subject." "I believe you." "Oh! gentlemen I am not mistaken no it is she!" "Who, then?" "Mdlle. de Cardoville! She is coming into the stage-box with Morinval and his wife.

A face of sheep-like sensuality. Red lips and a round receding chin. A large bosom, and two thin arms showing beneath the opera cloak, which she has not yet thrown from her shoulders. I do not know her une laideur attirante. Many a man might be interested in her. But do you see the woman in the stage-box?
The Duchesse de Bouillon sent a large number of her lackeys with orders to hiss and jeer, and, if possible, to break off the play. Malignantly delighted with her plan, the duchess arrayed herself in jewels and took her seat in a conspicuous stage-box, where she could watch the coming storm and gloat over the discomfiture of her rival.
He saw himself the possessor of a magnificent stud, of sufficient wealth to gratify every fancy; he would splash mud upon all the passers-by, and especially upon his former acquaintances, as he dashed past them in his superb equipage; the best tailor should invent astonishing garments for him; he would make himself conspicuous at all the first performances in a stage-box, with the most notorious women in Paris; his fetes would be described in the papers; he would be the continual subject of comment; he would be credited with splendid, perfect "form."
"A stage-box at the Opera for the single performance of Helsson and Montrose." "Oh, my friend, what a pity! And my mourning?" "Your mourning has lasted for almost four months." "I assure you that I cannot." "And Annette? Remember that she may never have such an opportunity again." "With whom could she go?" "With her father and the Duchess, whom I am about to invite.
As soon, therefore, as we had anchored in the Gironde, off the city of Bordeaux, and had been visited by the proper authorities, I quitted the vessel and her captain, and went on shore. "Mais, monsieur," said he, "il faut aller au spectacle." "Allons," said I; and in a few minutes I was seated in the stage-box of the handsomest theatre in the world.
But the public saw an allusion in them; and while a triple salvo of applause greeted the conclusion of the speech, all heads were turned towards the stage-box on the left with an indignant, openly offensive movement. The poor wretch, pilloried in his own theatre! A pillory which had cost him so dear!
