"Why, my young friend, supposing you get your tragedy staged, it will be played one night if extraordinarily successful two nights, or three at the most. What do you think you will get out of it? Nothing. But perhaps you fancy yourself a Congreve or a Farquhar?" "Neither Congreve nor Farquhar wrote tragedies, sir," retorted Vane stiffly. "Indeed! What about Mr. Congreve's 'Mourning Bride?"
The remaining books are incomparably inferior, and are marked at times by mere acuteness of reason and thoroughness of legal knowledge. A Dramatic Poet. Although Browning's genius is strongly dramatic, his best work is not found in the field of the drama. Strafford , A Blot in the 'Scutcheon , and Colombe's Birthday have been staged successfully, but they cannot be called great acting plays.
Kent reappeared at the door. "Mr. Blair," he said, "please don't think me lacking in sportsmanship. I was young once myself. I just wanted to say that I think you all staged it remarkably well. Give Mr. Carter my compliments on that telegram from the Bishop." "Good heavens!" exclaimed Blair, as Mr. Kent vanished behind the curtains. "I forgot. Those fellows are still down in the cellar."
All progress possible in such a setting is a good deal like a horse-race staged in a theatre, where the horses do indeed run furiously, but where we all know well that they are not getting anywhere. There is a moving floor beneath them, and it is only the shifting of the scenery that makes them seem to go. Is human history like that? Is progress an illusion?
Pomp on a large scale was impossible; but the governor made the best use of his means to display the grace and majesty of his office. On the 17th of September Frontenac presided for the first time at a meeting of the Sovereign Council; and the formal inauguration of his régime was staged for the 23rd of October.
One thing is certain, they're not the native product, and our hold-ups aren't staged by rope-chokers out of work." Calvin Gray turned now and openly stared at the object of Coverly's suspicions. There was an alert interest in his eyes. "You've cinched the matter with me," he declared, after a moment. "Get out your diamonds to-morrow; I'm going to take the night train to Ranger."
He went to the table, sat down and picked up the pen. The cheque was still lying there. He drew it towards him. Then he flung the pen down. Then he picked it up, but he did not write. He waved it between finger and thumb, as though he were beating time to a miniature orchestra staged on the table before him. Then he began to write.
How masterfully the Old Guard staged every act of the drama, and thus brought about the nomination of the Princeton president. The Convention is at an end. Wilson has been nominated by a narrow margin; the delegates, bitter and resentful, are about to withdraw; the curtain is about to roll down on the last scene. The chairman, Mr.
Brit, he reasoned, could not have known before he started that his rough-lock had been tampered with, else he would have fixed it. Neither was Brit the man to forget the brake on his load. If Brit lived, he might talk as much as he pleased, but he could never prove that his accident had been deliberately staged with murderous intent.
"Riley says that's the stuff for little boys with curvature of the spine and I'll tell you it put several kinks in mine to watch that burn." And so they sat for an hour talking of old times while the fire burned. But Molly Brownwell's mind was not in the performance that John Barclay had staged. She could see nothing but the package lying on her cloak in the girl's room upstairs.
