Aegisthus
steals
in
pale
and
on
tiptoe
.
What
is
that
ghastly
face
looking
out
balefully
after
him
from
behind
the
arras
?
He
raises
his
dagger
to
strike
the
sleeper
,
who
turns
in
his
bed
,
and
opens
his
broad
chest
as
if
for
the
blow
.
He
can
not
strike
the
noble
slumbering
chieftain
.
Clytemnestra
glides
swiftly
into
the
room
like
an
apparition
--
her
arms
are
bare
and
white
--
her
tawny
hair
floats
down
her
shoulders
--
her
face
is
deadly
pale
--
and
her
eyes
are
lighted
up
with
a
smile
so
ghastly
that
people
quake
as
they
look
at
her
.
A
tremor
ran
through
the
room
.
"
Good
God
!
"
somebody
said
,
"
it
's
Mrs.
Rawdon
Crawley
.
"

Scornfully
she
snatches
the
dagger
out
of
Aegisthus
's
hand
and
advances
to
the
bed
.
You
see
it
shining
over
her
head
in
the
glimmer
of
the
lamp
,
and
--
and
the
lamp
goes
out
,
with
a
groan
,
and
all
is
dark
.
The
darkness
and
the
scene
frightened
people
.
Rebecca
performed
her
part
so
well
,
and
with
such
ghastly
truth
,
that
the
spectators
were
all
dumb
,
until
,
with
a
burst
,
all
the
lamps
of
the
hall
blazed
out
again
,
when
everybody
began
to
shout
applause
.
"
Brava
!
brava
!
"
old
Steyne
's
strident
voice
was
heard
roaring
over
all
the
rest
.
"
By
--
she
'd
do
it
too
,
"
he
said
between
his
teeth
.
The
performers
were
called
by
the
whole
house
,
which
sounded
with
cries
of
"
Manager
!
Clytemnestra
!
"
Agamemnon
could
not
be
got
to
show
in
his
classical
tunic
,
but
stood
in
the
background
with
Aegisthus
and
others
of
the
performers
of
the
little
play
.
Mr.
Bedwin
Sands
led
on
Zuleikah
and
Clytemnestra
.
A
great
personage
insisted
on
being
presented
to
the
charming
Clytemnestra
.
"
Heigh
ha
?
Run
him
through
the
body
.
Marry
somebody
else
,
hay
?
"
was
the
apposite
remark
made
by
His
Royal
Highness
.
"
Mrs.
Rawdon
Crawley
was
quite
killing
in
the
part
,
"
said
Lord
Steyne
.
Becky
laughed
,
gay
and
saucy
looking
,
and
swept
the
prettiest
little
curtsey
ever
seen
.
Servants
brought
in
salvers
covered
with
numerous
cool
dainties
,
and
the
performers
disappeared
to
get
ready
for
the
second
charade-tableau
.

The
three
syllables
of
this
charade
were
to
be
depicted
in
pantomime
,
and
the
performance
took
place
in
the
following
wise
:
First
syllable
.
Colonel
Rawdon
Crawley
,
C.B.
,
with
a
slouched
hat
and
a
staff
,
a
great-coat
,
and
a
lantern
borrowed
from
the
stables
,
passed
across
the
stage
bawling
out
,
as
if
warning
the
inhabitants
of
the
hour
.
In
the
lower
window
are
seen
two
bagmen
playing
apparently
at
the
game
of
cribbage
,
over
which
they
yawn
much
.
To
them
enters
one
looking
like
Boots
(
the
Honourable
G.
Ringwood
)
,
which
character
the
young
gentleman
performed
to
perfection
,
and
divests
them
of
their
lower
coverings
;
and
presently
Chambermaid
(
the
Right
Honourable
Lord
Southdown
)
with
two
candlesticks
,
and
a
warming-pan
.
She
ascends
to
the
upper
apartment
and
warms
the
bed
.
She
uses
the
warming-pan
as
a
weapon
wherewith
she
wards
off
the
attention
of
the
bagmen
.
She
exits
.
They
put
on
their
night-caps
and
pull
down
the
blinds
.
Boots
comes
out
and
closes
the
shutters
of
the
ground-floor
chamber
.
You
hear
him
bolting
and
chaining
the
door
within
.
All
the
lights
go
out
.
The
music
plays
Dormez
,
dormez
,
chers
Amours
.
A
voice
from
behind
the
curtain
says
,
"
First
syllable
.
"
Second
syllable
.
The
lamps
are
lighted
up
all
of
a
sudden
.
The
music
plays
the
old
air
from
John
of
Paris
,
Ah
quel
plaisir
d'etre
en
voyage
.
It
is
the
same
scene
.
Between
the
first
and
second
floors
of
the
house
represented
,
you
behold
a
sign
on
which
the
Steyne
arms
are
painted
.
All
the
bells
are
ringing
all
over
the
house
.
