Seite 472 - So enraptured was I with the idea of acting this part, and so fearful of anything preventing me, that I did not tell the manager I had no dresses, until it was too late for me to be prevented from acting it; and the day before the performance, after rehearsal, I told him. He immediately sat down and wrote a note of introduction for me to the tragedienne of the French Theatre, which then employed some of the best among French artists for its company.

Seite 296 - So they to each other kept clinging, and clung, While Time his swift circuit was winging and wung ; And this was the thing he was bringing and brung : The man Sally wanted to catch, and had caught ; That she wanted from others to snatch, and had snaught ; Was the one she now liked to scratch, and she scraught.
