Excerpt from The Unconscious Mummers (Les Comediens Sans Le Savoir): And Other Stories Un Homme d'jfaires, relieved of this unlucky weight, is better, but it also, in the eyes of some readers, does not stand very high. La Palférine reappears, and that more exalted La Palférine Maxime de Trailles, Balzac's pet scoundrel, ' as some one has called him, though not present, is the hero of the tale, which is artificial and slight enough.

Excerpt from Mummers in Mufti The doctor carefully wrote down the figures, then studied the card with narrowed eyes, as if he were making a steel-engraving. Having apparently formed his opinion, he suddenly threw down his pen and looked back at Bellsmith with an amiable smile which seemed preparatory to dismissal.

Excerpt from The Master Mummer Heets of virgin manuscript paper littered my desk, the smoke of much uselessly consumed tobacco hung about the room in a little cloud. Many a time I had dipped my pen in the ink, only to find myself a few minutes later scrawling ridiculous little figures upon the margin of my blotting-pad. It was not at all an auspicious start for one who sought immortality. There came a growl presently from the other side of the room, where Mabane, attired in a disreputable smock, with a short black pipe in the corner of his mouth, was industriously defacing a small canvas. Mabane was tall and fair and lean, with a mass of refractory hair which was the despair of his barber; a Scotchman with keen blue eyes, and humorous mouth amply redeeming his face from the plainness which would otherwise have been its lot. He also was in search of immortality. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Peace Egg and a Christmas Mumming Play The Captain bore a high character, and was a good and clever officer, but that went for nothing against the old man's whim. He made a very good husband too; but even this did not move his father-in-law, who had never held any intercourse with him or his wife since the day of their marriage, and who had never seen his own grand children. Though not so bitterly prejudiced as the old father, the Captain's wife's friends had their doubts about the marriage. The place was not a military station, and they were quiet country folk who knew very little about soldiers, whilst what they imagined was not altogether favourable to red-coats, as they called them. Soldiers are well-looking generally, it is true (and the Captain was more than well-looking - he was handsome); brave, of course, it is their business (and the Captain had V.C. After his name and several bits of ribbon on. His patrol jacket). But then, thought the good people, they are here to-day and gone to'-morrow, you never know where you have them they are probably in debt, possibly married to several women in several foreign countries, and, though they are very courteous in society, who knows -how they treat their wives when they drag them off from their natural friends and protectors to distant lands where no one can call them to account? Ah, poor thing! Said Mrs John Bull, junior, as she took off her husband's coat on his return from business, a week after the Captain's wedding, I wonder how she feels? There's no doubt the old man behaved disgracefully; but it's a great risk marrying a soldier. It stands to reason.

Excerpt from A Mummer's Tale The scene was an actress's dressing-room at the Odéon. Félicie Nanteuil, her hair powdered, with blue on her eyelids, rouge on her cheeks and ears, and white on her neck and shoulders, was holding out her foot to Madame Michon, the dresser, who was fitting on a pair of little black slippers with red heels. Dr. Trublet, the physician attached to the theatre, and a friend of the actress's, was resting his bald cranium on a cushion of the divan, his hands folded upon his stomach and his short legs crossed. "What else, my dear?" he inquired of her. "Oh, I don't know!" Fits of suffocation; giddiness; and, all of a sudden, an agonizing pain, as if I were going to die. That's the worst of all." "Do you sometimes feel as though you must laugh or cry for no apparent reason, about nothing at all?" About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
