"Boys," he said, "if we stop here talking, there won't be much time left for a jag when we make the Butte. Are you going to let him bluff you?" The growl from the others was ominous. They had been working long hours at high pressure in the rain, and had suffered in temper. One of them strode forward and grasped Farren's shoulder. "Now," he demanded, "hand out! It's our money."
Nellie Farren's were dark blue, light blue, and white; Kate Vaughan's were pink and grey; Emily Duncan's black and white; the leading hosiers "stocked" silk scarves of these colours, and we foolish young men bought the colours of the lady we especially admired, and sat in the stalls of the Gaiety flaunting the scarves of our favourite round our necks.
Introduction to Farren's "Cathedral Cities of Ely and Norwich." Population of Ely, 1891, was 6,646; of Wells, 5,899. Ely is almost universally called a city, upon the supposition that the mere fact of its having a cathedral constitutes the town a city. But since the Norman Conquest the dignity of a city has always been conferred by grant, and no such grant is known to have been made to Ely.
In MS., Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. Referred to by Bentham, p. 63. Introduction to Farren's "Cathedral Cities of Ely and Norwich." The success of this attempt may have encouraged the monks to make a similar effort some fifty years later. The body of S. Felix, the first of the East Anglian bishops, had been interred at Soham, where he is said to have founded a monastery.
The company was a very tolerable one; and in the person of a nephew of Mr. W. Farren's, I found an adjunct of much importance to me an excellent old man.
Admirable and exhaustive descriptions of these pieces of sculpture, with sketches of six of them, are given in Dean Stubbs' "Historical Memorials of Ely Cathedral," pp. 71-84. The account in the text of the miracle on the seventh corbel is condensed from this description. Canon Stewart, in The Builder, April 2nd, 1892. Introduction to Farren's "Cathedral Cities of Ely and Norwich."
Everybody on the stage cried and all the old rounders in the boxes cried. It was really a wonderfully dramatic spectacle to see the clown and officers and Geisha girls weeping down their grease paint. Nellie Farren's great song was one about a street Arab with the words: "Let me hold your, nag, sir, carry your little bag, sir, anything you please to give thank'ee, sir!"
I can remember one occasion when I played Ophelia really well. It was in Chicago some ten years later. At Drury Lane, in 1896, when I played the mad scene for Nelly Farren's benefit, and took farewell of the part for ever, I was just damnable! Ophelia only pervades the scenes in which she is concerned until the mad scene.
Behind him stood the panting locomotive engineer, trying to hold back the growing crowd. "Looks pretty bad," he said. "What's to be done with him?" "We had better get him into his bunk," directed Hardie. "Then I'll make for the Butte as fast as I can and bring the doctor out." "It would take two hours," objected the engineer, as he gently removed Farren's hat.
"I'll go mad, dear, if I have to stand it all night!" They dared not be discourteous. A reputation for heartlessness would have followed Anna to the grave if she had gone to bed while the dead child lay there. Withero had been at old William Farren's wake and was going home when he saw Anna and Jamie at the door. They explained the situation.
