In any acting of charades, any arrangement of tableaux vivans, or similar amusements, you will always find that the little children are well pleased, and, indeed, are fully satisfied, if they also can be pressed into the service as "slaves" or "soldiers," or, as the procession-makers say, "citizens generally," or what the stage-managers call super-numeraries.
They would have come with him had they not been rather knocked up by the early rise on the steamer and by the long wait at the custom-house. "You must all come with me to-morrow to our tableaux," said Valerie. "Imogen is in them. She is out this afternoon, so you will see her for the first time at her loveliest. She is to be Antigone." "Oh, so I sha'n't see her till to-morrow.
Theresa was so transformed that nobody would have known her; and while the company laughed and applauded, Daisy came back to her usual self; and slid out of her father's arms when the show was over, all ready for supper and Nora Dinwiddie. There was a grand supper, and everybody was full of pleasure and complimentary speeches and discussion and praise of the tableaux.
People for the tableaux, We must have all we can muster." "I can't see how you will make Theresa Stanfield look like that." "I cannot," said Preston, laughing, "but Mrs. Sandford will do part, and Theresa herself will do the other part. She will bring her face round, you will see.

"No, not such refined ones!" returned the Kammerjunker; "perhaps a piece of wood, or a silly mask, is laid in your bed. Miss Sophie gives us other clever things for amusement tableaux and the magic-lantern. I was once of the party. Yes, what was it I represented? Ah, I played, Heaven help me!
When we had tableaux vivants at Ascham I was supposed to be Charlotte putting a wreath on Werther's urn, and I trembled so much that I knocked the urn down. It was only card-board, so it didn't break, but every one laughed and the tableau was spoiled." Fitzroy and his aunt cried out that that was nothing, a first appearance; any one could see she had got over that now.
The cause of this heartless desertion is a grand display of tableaux vivants at Jackson, for the benefit of the Soldiers' Hospital, and of course it would be sinful to stay away, particularly as Anna is a great deal better, and I need no care.... Thursday, December 4th. It would be only the absurd tableaux I agreed to, with plenty of fun, and nothing more.

I thought they stood for me because Don is very nearly the most popular Scout in camp. I was kind of pleased when they chose me to come over to camp and extend the olive branch to you Girl Scouts."
