Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life on the Stage: My Personal Experiences and Recollections If this simple tale is to be told at all, it may as well begin at the beginning and in the good old-fashioned and best of all ways - thus: Once upon a time in the Canadian city of Toronto, on the 17th of March, the sun rose bright and clear - which was a most surprising thing for the sun to do on St. Patrick´s Day, but while the people were yet wondering over it the sunlight disappeared, clouds of dull gray spread themselves evenly over the sky, and then the snow fell - fell fast and furious, quickly whitening the streets and house-tops, softly lining every hollow, and was piling little cushions on top of all the hitching-posts, when the flakes grew larger, wetter, farther apart, and after a little hesitation turned to rain - a sort of walk-trot-gallop rain, which wound up with one vivid flash of lightning and a clap of thunder that fairly shook the city. Now the Irish, being a brave people and semi-amphibious, pay no heed to wet weather. Usually all the Hibernians residing in a city divide themselves into two bodies on St. Patrick´s Day, the ones who parade and the ones who follow the parade; but on this occasion they divided themselves into three bodies - the men who paraded, the men and women who followed the parade, and the Orangemen who made things pleasant for both parties.
