The sort of ardour which impels more normal youths to haunt Music Halls and fall in love with actresses took the form, in Froude's case, of a romantic devotion to the Deity and an intense interest in the state of his own soul. He was obsessed by the ideals of saintliness, and convinced of the supreme importance of not eating too much.
But there will be no more battle pictures. They cost too much money to make. The rest of the scenes will be more peaceful." "That would suit my little girl," said Mr. Bobbsey, with a laugh. "She didn't like the cannon and guns." "Oh, have you a little girl?" asked the moving picture man, who seemed to be one of those in charge of the actors and actresses. "Yes, I have a little girl," Mr.
The General and two of Frau von Kubinyi's friends, who were servants of the Muses like she was, for one was a ballet dancer, and the two others were actresses, had come to tea, and he was to wait on them.
There is, of course, another class. Some, perhaps many, become actresses simply from a pure love of what they deem a beautiful, noble art, and for them it is only natural to think that nothing is worth representing save the greater characters; it is difficult to gratify such a love by representing a middle-aged comic spinster, or one of the elderly duchesses, without whom a modern comedy is deemed ungenteel.
"Oh, I guess he boozes a little; but he's hard-headed and knows how to handle the stuff." "Women? Roast beef, boiled potatoes and musty ale for two." "Actresses. Say, make mine a beer. A gay buck in New York, I understand. Used to chase around after the Challoner woman who married Bennington." "Nothing here in town?" "Haven't paid any attention to him.

The younger men, as well as the three actresses, were glad to retire to rest early; but Blazius and the tyrant, with their host, sat up drinking the latter's capital wine until far into the night. At length they, too, succumbed to their fatigue; and while they are sleeping we will return to the abandoned chariot to see what was going on there.

She touches everything so daintily, she hits off a character in a sentence, she gives the pith of a dialogue without tediousness, she mimics without vulgarity; her narration sparkles, but it does n't sting.
