The Quintet.

All of us demand an occasional holiday, and the dresser, of the -great actor at the Frivolity had a night off, so another dresser reigned in his stead —a stranger forsooth, unused to the ways of the classic boards. In due time the great actor arrived, and tn due time the makeshift dresser began to drees his temporary master. Time sped on, as is the habit of time, and anon the great actor turned to his menial. “George,” said he, “where are they now! Are they doing the quintet yet?” George hied him down the passage and to the wings adjacent to the stage. He looked and listened, then hied him back to the dressing room. “I don’t rightly know, sir,” he said, respectfully withal; "but there’s threo young women singing like old boots, and a couple of blokes who keep chipping in every now and again!”—Answers, London.
