About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text, images, or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1887. Not illustrated.

Nor was this an exceptional phase of public feeling; only let an actor and actress be seen to act continually together, especially in love-stories, and all the young people in the audience accept as gospel that "he" is in love with "her," and "she" with "him." Herbert's duties were so absorbing, and his ambition so engrossing and so insatiable, that I don't think these absurd rumours ever reached him. He was a sort of Grand Lama of Thibet, after a small fashion, and no one ever dared to take a liberty with him, especially a liberty of that kind. I remember once, however, that a man at the Club asked him an insolent question in connection with a certain lady, and that, in reply, he beckoned the fellow outside, and there and then caned him wit...
