Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Ten Years Tenant: And Other Stories It is now twenty years ago. I was staying at an hotel in Scarborough, one of the great places where they have a. couple of hundred people every day at their table d´hôte. In the evening some of the company who had been long enough in the place to make each other´s acquaintance had got up an entertainment for the rest in the shape of private theatricals, which was given, after the Elizabethan manner, without the accessories of scenery, in the dining-hall. I forget what the play was; but it needed no scenery, being a comedy of the last century, for which the actors were dressed in the fashions of the second George, stately and splendid, though rather stiff. I am not very fond of private theatricals. It always seems to me that the best amateur actors are those who have most carefully studied the gestures and tricks of professionals in the same parts. Therefore my attention was gradually diverted from the performance to the audience, where were all the materials from which an old-fashioned moralist would have drawn his weary old moral, with a tag of "telle est la vie" about the group met together that night, never again, perhaps, to gather under the same roof.
