He would have fainted unobtrusively, for the first time in his life. Kedzie was scared. She had stage-fright of all these great people so overdressed when she was not even underclothed. "Poor little thing!" said Charity, and began to applaud to cheer her up. She nudged Jim. "Come on, help her out. Isn't she beautiful?" "Is she?" said Jim, applauding.
"She won't have the chance," said Nita decisively. "You must take it, Roberta. Why didn't you tell people that you could act like that?" "I shall have stage-fright and spoil everything," declared Roberta forlornly. "Nonsense," said Nita. "You'd be ashamed to do anything of the kind." "Yes," agreed Roberta solemnly, "I should."
The field-mouse addressed got up on his legs, giggled shyly, looked round the room, and remained absolutely tongue-tied. His comrades cheered him on, Mole coaxed and encouraged him, and the Rat went so far as to take him by the shoulders and shake him; but nothing could overcome his stage-fright.
"What's the matter?" asked Patty, as she began daubing in wrinkles with a liberal hand; "are you afraid?" "N-no," said the Parent; "I'm not afraid, only I'm afraid that I will be afraid." "You'd just better change your mind, then," said Patty, sternly. "We aren't going to allow any stage-fright to-night."
When the day set for the wedding had worn to dusk, Conscience escaped from the guests and made her way slowly to her unlighted room. Her knees were weak and she told herself that this was the natural stage-fright of the altar but she knew that it was more than that. As she reached for matches the sound of voices beyond the door arrested her, and the challenge of her own name held her attention.
But she suffered no stage-fright; and though the ladies of the audience regarded her with no enthusiasm, it was to be observed that the vast majority of the men in the house, gave her brisk applause: hailing with delight this legitimate member of the troupe whom it would certainly be worth while to ask out to supper.
They, too, are in their Sunday-best, and on the tiptoe of excitement infant coryphe'es, in whom, as they stand at the wings, stage-fright is overborne by the desire to be seen and approved.
One of the performers appeared on the stage sufficiently charged with stage-fright to cause him to entirely forget his piece.
Of course, something may happen to upset one before a concert, and one does not feel quite at ease when first stepping on the stage; but then I hope that is not stage-fright! "At the Imperial Music School in Vilna, and before, I worked at all the things every violinist studies I think that I played almost everything. I did not work too hard, but I worked hard enough.
This part, of too secondary and negative a character for the display of high dramatic powers, even in an actress who should be perfect mistress of herself, was borne by a young and beautiful woman, new to the London stage, though of some provincial reputation, who on this occasion was distressingly nervous and ill-assured. She had to contend not only with stage-fright, but Garrick-fright.
