"Though I think, after all," she observed to Arthur Chester, who lounged by her side, revelling in the entertainment with the zest of the man who would give his whole time to affairs like these if it were not necessary for him to make a living at the practice of some more prosaic profession, "it's quite as much the interest of having such a stagey character performing for us as it is his music.
Their hoofs were worn to the similitude of quoits; you could count their ribs a quarter of a mile off; and they had acquired that crease down the hip pathetically known as 'the poor man's stripe. Cleopatra's bucking had become feeble and mechanical, and so transparently stagey that I used to be ashamed of it.
How much more delightful is all this than any commonplace stagey effect of lattice and gable; and with what pleasant unconscious art the writer of this letter describes what is NOT there and brings in her banks of violets to perfume the dull rooms. The postscript to this letter is Miss Mitford all over. 'Pray excuse my blots and interlineations.
We cannot describe all the fascinating pleasure we get when we read and think of the wonders this strange mortal performed in the ordinary course of his profession; when, however, he departs from that and begins to make stagey love to Lady Hamilton, it tries one's Christian patience. What business had he, as the first sailor in the world, to enter into such a compact with another man's wife?
THE FIRE-TENDER. I suppose Mandeville would say that acting has got into a mannerism which is well described as stagey, and is supposed to be natural to the stage; just as half the modern poets write in a recognized form of literary manufacture, without the least impulse from within, and not with the purpose of saying anything, but of turning out a piece of literary work.
Your schemes sound so stagey. Off the stage you never take people in with such flimsy stories and weak disguises you'll tie yourself up into knots and finally get sent to prison.... However.... I can't help being rather tickled by your idea. Follow your star! I can be confident of one thing, you won't do anything mean or disgraceful.
It was a most airy, quaint, and pleasant place of residence, just too rustic to be stagey; and from my memories of the place in general, and that garden trellis in particular at morning, visited by birds, or at night, when the dew fell and the stars were of the party I am inclined to think perhaps too favourably of the future of Montigny.
Yet I sometimes have imagined that today the stagecoach business in England is a little stagey many things are done to heighten effects. For instance, the intense excitement of starting is not exactly necessary why the mad rush? No one is really in a hurry to reach a certain place at a certain time!
It could not stand, could not hold water; the bottom would be out." The incredible stroke of luck, the sheer good fortune that Chase was Chase and nobody else, vain, devious, stagey and hypersensitive, was salvation. Lincoln promptly rejected both resignations and called upon both Ministers to resume their portfolios. They did so. The incident was closed.
And not a bit stagey or actressy, and rather what you call an uncut diamond a gem in her way, but not fine beur, not exactly. A touch of the karoo, or the prairie, or the salt-bush plains in her, but a good chap altogether; and I'm glad I was in it last night with her. I laughed a lot at breakfast why yes, I stayed to breakfast.
