The meanest Italian in the\u003cbr\u003egallery far up beneath the ceiling, the most exalted of the land in the\u003cbr\u003eboxes and the stalls, leaned indulgently forward, to be swept by this\u003cbr\u003esweet storm of song. They yielded themselves utterly to the power of\u003cbr\u003ethe triumphant debutante who was making \"Manassa\" the musical feast of\u003cbr\u003ethe year, renewing to Covent Garden a reputation which recent lack of\u003cbr\u003eenterprise had somewhat forfeited.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet, apparently, not all the vast audience were hypnotized by the\u003cbr\u003eunknown and unheralded singer, whose stage name was Al'mah. At the\u003cbr\u003emoment of the opera's supreme appeal the eyes of three people at least\u003cbr\u003ewere not in the thraldom of the singer. Seated at the end of the first\u003cbr\u003erow of the stalls was a fair, slim, graciously attired man of about\u003cbr\u003ethirty, who, turning in his seat so that nearly the whole house was in\u003cbr\u003ehis circle of vision, stroked his golden moustache, and ran his eyes\u003cbr\u003eover the thousands of faces with a smile of pride and satisfaction\u003cbr\u003ewhich in a less handsome man would have been almost a leer. His name\u003cbr\u003ewas Adrian Fellowes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEither the opera and the singer had no charms for Adrian Fellowes, or\u003cbr\u003eelse he had heard both so often that, without doing violence to his\u003cbr\u003emusical sense, he could afford to study the effect of this wonderful\u003cbr\u003eeffort upon the mob of London, mastered by the radiant being on the\u003cbr\u003estage. Very sleek, handsome, and material he looked; of happy colour,\u003cbr\u003eand, apparently, with a mind and soul in which no conflicts ever\u003cbr\u003eraged--to the advantage of his attractive exterior. Only at the summit\u003cbr\u003eof the applause did he turn to the stage again. Then it was with the\u003cbr\u003egloating look of the gambler who swings from the roulette-table with\u003cbr\u003ethe winnings of a great coup, cynical joy in his eyes that he has\u003cbr\u003ebeaten the Bank, conquered the dark spirit which has tricked him so\u003cbr\u003eoften. Now the cold-blue eyes caught, for a second, the dark-brown eyes\u003cbr\u003eof the Celtic singer, which laughed at him gaily, victoriously,\u003cbr\u003eeagerly, and then again drank in the light and the joy of the myriad\u003cbr\u003efaces before her.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47147556307184,"sku":"2940013378940","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013378940_p0.jpg?v=1763580465","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013378940","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
