CHAPTER IV.--_A WEIR ON THE THAMES._
It being moonlight, Lady VIOLET walked on a terrace, and admired
a dangerous weir. There was a shriek, and the Brazilian rushed in
accompanied by the "_Intermezzo_."
"Fly with me to any part of the Desert that pleases you most."
"I would be most delighted," replied Lady VIOLET; "I would sacrifice
myself to any extent, but I would not annoy my husband."
"Then let me kiss you with the aid of MASCAGNI," and he pressed his
lips to her brow, to the accompaniment of the "_Intermezzo_."
"I have been to Manoa, and kissed its Queen," said the Brazilian, as
he jumped into the weir, wearily. "It would have been better had I
died before."
"Yes," thought Lady VIOLET, as she leisurely fainted, "it would indeed
have been better had he died in the First Act than in the last.
Then the piece would have been shorter, more satisfactory, and less
expensive to produce. Nay, more--a solitary Act might have been one
too many!" And yet again the audience, "all o'er-bored," entirely
agreed with her!
