Well, now, let me see, fifteen times; you must write twelve more tragedies, and then he will read one; and when he has read it, he will favor you with his judgment upon it; and when you have got that, you will have what all the world knows is not worth a farthing. He! he! he! 'And like the birds, gay Nature's happy commoners, Rifle the sweets' mum mum mum." Her high spirits made Triplet sadder.
Yet madder things are done every day by gentlemen with faces as grave as the parish bull's. And then they rose and formed their little plans. Triplet was for devoting four-fifths to charity, and living like a prince on the remainder. But Mrs.
You see, Jane, they are all at a sumptuous banquet, all the dramatis personae, except the poet." Triplet went on writing, and reading his work out: "Music, sparkling wine, massive plate, rose-water in the hand-glasses, soup, fish shall I have three sorts of fish? I will; they are cheap in this market. Ah!
Now the first figure grows more articulate, romping and galloping into an ecstasy of fun. A certain spirit of Till Eulenspiegel hovers about. Out of the maze blows a new line in muted trumpets, that begins with the inverted triplet figure, and in spite of the surrounding bedlam rises almost into a tune. At the height the strange jest of the horns reigns supreme.
Happy Woffington! and suppose this was more than half acting, but such acting as Triplet never dreamed of; and to tell the honest, simple truth, I myself should not have suspected it; but children are sharper than one would think, and Alcibiades Triplet told, in after years, that, when they were all dancing except the lady, he caught sight of her face and it was quite, quite grave, and even sad; but, as often as she saw him look at her, she smiled at him so gayly he couldn't believe it was the same face.
Oh, I shall have to paint it myself. The heroes? Well, they have nobody who will play them as I should. It cannot go on this way; I must and will be paid separately for my branches." Just as he came to this resolution, the boy returned with a brown-paper parcel, addressed to Mr. James Triplet. Triplet weighed it in his hand; it was heavy. "How is this?" cried he.
"I think you are master of this art," said she, very languidly, to Triplet, "you paint so rapidly." "Yes, madam," said Triplet, gloomily; and painted on. "Confound this shadow!" added he; and painted on. His soul, too, was clouded. Mrs. Woffington, yawning in his face, had told him she had invited all Mr.
Triplet!" said the fugitive, "enchanted to wish you good-morning!" and he plunged into the hiding-places of the theater. "That is a very polite gentleman!" thought Triplet. He was followed by the call-boy, to whom he was explaining that his avocations, though numerous, would not prevent his paying Mr.
"You will find him round the corner," said she, "or in some shop that looks this way." While uttering these words she had put on Mrs. Vane's hood and mantle. No answer was returned, and no Triplet went out of the door. She turned, and there he was kneeling on both knees close under her. "Bid me jump out of that window, madam; bid me kill those two gentlemen, and I will not rebel.
This menage a trois may have subtle advantages and seems to be a step in the direction of the truly social habits of the rook; it enables them to fight with more success against their enemies, the hawks, and fosters, likewise, a certain lightheartedness which the sententious raven lacks. No one who has watched the aerial antics of a triplet of carrion crows can deny them a sense of fun.
