And so proceeds the tragedy, with much that ought to be dear to the average actor, which yet is somehow not always even theatrically happy.
The modern garden, whether laid out in regular lines, or on an ornamental scale, as a flower garden purely, or in a composite style, is usually but an adjunct to the modern chateau, villa or cottage. It is more intimate than the vast, more theatrically disposed area of old, and is more nearly an indication of the personal tastes of the owner because of its restrained proportions.
'What a capital likeness of John, said Theodora. 'Mamma would be quite jealous of it. 'It belonged to my sister, said Percy. 'He got it done by an Italian, who has made him rather theatrically melancholy; but it is a good picture, and like John when he looked more young-mannish and sentimental than he does now. A hiss and cluck made Violet start.
"What I tell, I know," crooned the old woman, theatrically. "I can tell nothing without silver." "But I haven't any more money," cried poor Judy. "But a ring, a pin, they will do as well," the old woman looked at her greedily. "I don't wear jewelry," said Judy, "I don't care for it."
The apartment was kept clean by an English servant with the singularly, almost theatrically, appropriate name of Bounds, whose technic was marred only by the fact that he wore a soft collar. Had he been entirely Anthony's Bounds this defect would have been summarily remedied, but he was also the Bounds of two other gentlemen in the neighborhood.
"'The Bridge of Sighs," said I. "Let us cross it for good and all." "And let it now read 'Sighs Abridged." He asked me no questions, and I silently thanked him. Once in our rooms, he drank a little more brandy than I thought good for one "who may or may not live the year out." I told him so. He laughed. And then I laughed. Both of us did it theatrically; it was laughter, but it was not mirth.
Horrified at this, he seized two daggers, and, after theatrically trying their edges, sheathed them again, with the excuse that the fatal moment had not yet arrived! Then he bade Sporus begin to sing his funeral song, and begged some one to show him how to die.
While the others stood silent, he saw one of those openings for improving the occasion professionally of which he was ever so ready to avail himself. So, casting his hand abroad theatrically, he declaimed, How glorious are thy works, Parent of Good!
He raised his eyes and looked at us wearily and with no show of interest. "Shoot them?" he asked. "Why were you going to shoot them?" "Because, General," Reeder declared, theatrically, pointing an accusing finger at Aiken, "I believe this man sold our secret to the Isthmian Line. No one knew of the guns but our three selves and Quay. And Quay is not a man to betray his friends.
This adventurer rose late, dressed theatrically in calico and trinkets, assumed a dictatorial tone in conversation, and was evidently upon excellent terms with himself. We found him reclining on a mat, smoking a reed-pipe of tobacco, in the midst of an admiring circle of chiefs and ladies.
