[The Angel and the Author - and Others by Jerome K. Jerome]@TWC D-Link bookThe Angel and the Author - and Others CHAPTER XVIII 8/21
Mrs. Apothecary's motherly bosom was shaking like a jelly.
The Colonel was grinning from ear to ear. Later on, as I noticed in the programme, the schoolmistress, an unmarried lady, was down to sing "Darby and Joan." She has a sympathetic voice. Her "Darby and Joan" is always popular.
The comic man would also again appear in the second part, and would oblige with (by request) "His Mother- in-Law." So the quaint comedy continues: To-night we will enjoy _Romeo and Juliet_, for to-morrow we have seats booked for _The Pink Domino_. What the Gipsy did not mention. "Won't the pretty lady let the poor old gipsy tell her fortune ?" Blushes, giggles, protestations.
Gallant gentleman friend insists.
A dark man is in love with pretty lady.
