?I must entreat Miss Julia Bertram,? said he, ?not to engage in the
part of Agatha, or it will be the ruin of all my solemnityYou must
not, indeed you must not? (turning to her)?I could not stand your
countenance dressed up in woe and palenessThe many laughs we
have had together would infallibly come across me, and Frederick
and his knapsack would be obliged to run away
Pleasantly, courteously, it was spoken; but the manner was lost in
the matter to Julia?s feelingsShe saw a glance at Maria which confirmed
the injury to herself: it was a scheme, a trick; she was slighted,
Maria was preferred; the smile of triumph which Maria was trying
to suppress shewed how well it was understood; and before Julia
could command herself enough to speak, her brother gave his weight
against her too, by saying, ?Oh omega de ville watch ladies yes! Maria must be AgathaMaria
will be the best AgathaThough Julia fancies she prefers tragedy, I
would not trust her in itThere is nothing of tragedy about herShe
has not the look of itHer features are not tragic features, and she
walks too quick, and speaks too quick, and would not keep her
countenanceShe had better do the old countrywoman: the
Cottager?s wife; you had, indeed, JuliaCottager?s wife is a very pretty
part, I assure youThe old lady relieves the high-flown benevolence
of her husband with a good deal of spiritYou shall be Cottager?s
wife
?Cottager?s wife!? cried Mr?What are you talking of? The
most trivial, paltry, insignificant part; the merest commonplace; not
a tolerable speech in the wholeYour sister do that! It is an insult to
propose itAt Ecclesford the governess was to have louis vuitton graffiti bag done itWe all
agreed that it could not be offered to anybody elseA little more
justice, MrManager, if you pleaseYou do not deserve the office, if
you cannot appreciate the talents of your company a little better
119
Jane Austen
?Why, as to that, my good friend, till I and my company have
really acted there must be some guesswork; but I mean no disparagement
to JuliaWe cannot have two Agathas, and we must have
one Cottager?s wife; and I am sure I set her the example of moderation
myself in being satisfied with the old ButlerIf the part is trifling
she will have more credit in making something of it; and if she
is so desperately bent against everything humorous, let her take
Cottager?s speeches instead of Cottager?s wife?s, and so change the
parts all through; he is solemn and pathetic enough, I vintage cartier ladies watch am sureIt
could make no difference in the play, and as for Cottager himself,
when he has got his wife?s speeches, I would undertake him with all
my heart
?With all your partiality for Cottager?s wife,? said Henry Crawford,
?it will be impossible to make anything of it fit for your sister, and
we must not suffer her good-nature to be imposed onWe must not
allow her to accept the partShe must not be left to her own complaisance
Her talents will be wanted in AmeliaAmelia is a character
more difficult to be well represented than even AgathaI consider
Amelia is the most difficult character in the whole pieceIt
requires great powers, great nicety, to give her playfulness and simplicity
without extravaganceI have seen good actresses fail in the
partSimplicity, indeed, is beyond the reach of almost every tiffany 925 silver jewelry actress
by professionIt requires a delicacy of feeling which they have not
It requires a gentlewoman?a Julia BertramYou will undertake it,
I hope?? turning to her with a look of anxious entreaty, which softened
her a little; but while she hesitated what to say, her brother
again interposed with Miss Crawford?s better claim
?No, no, Julia must not be AmeliaIt is not at all the part for her
She would not like itShe would not do wellShe is too tall and
robustAmelia should be a small, light, girlish, skipping figureIt is
fit for Miss Crawford, and Miss Crawford onlyShe looks the part,
and I am persuaded will do it admirably
Without attending to this, Henry Crawford continued his supplication
?You must oblige us,? said he, ?indeed you mustWhen
you have studied the character, I am sure you will feel it suit imitation louis vuitton bucket bag |
