1I had been afraid until then to say a word about the play. But then, Mr. Waldengarver looked up at us complacently, and
2said,-- "Gentlemen, how did it seem to you, to go, in front?" Herbert said from behind (at the same time poking me),
3"Capitally." So I said "Capitally." "How did you like my reading of the character, gentlemen?" said Mr. Waldengarver,
4almost, if not quite, with patronage. Herbert said from behind (again poking me), "Massive and concrete." So I said
5boldly, as if I had originated it, and must beg to insist upon it, "Massive and concrete." "I am glad to have your
6approbation, gentlemen," said Mr. Waldengarver, with an air of dignity, in spite of his being ground against the wall at
7the time, and holding on by the seat of the chair. "But I'll tell you one thing, Mr. Waldengarver," said the man who was
8on his knees, "in which you're out in your reading. Now mind! I don't care who says contrairy; I tell you so. You're out
9in your reading of Hamlet when you get your legs in profile. The last Hamlet as I dressed, made the same mistakes in his
10reading at rehearsal, till I got him to put a large red wafer on each of his shins, and then at that rehearsal (which
11was the last) I went in front, sir, to the back of the pit, and whenever his reading brought him into profile, I called
12out "I don't see no wafers!" And at night his reading was lovely." Mr. Waldengarver smiled at me, as much as to say "a
13faithful Dependent--I overlook his folly;" and then said aloud, "My view is a little classic and thoughtful for them
14here; but they will improve, they will improve." Herbert and I said together, O, no doubt they would improve. "Did you
15observe, gentlemen," said Mr. Waldengarver, "that there was a man in the gallery who endeavoured to cast derision on the
16service,--I mean, the representation?" We basely replied that we rather thought we had noticed such a man. I added, "He
17was drunk, no doubt." "O dear no, sir," said Mr. Wopsle, "not drunk. His employer would see to that, sir. His employer
18would not allow him to be drunk." "You know his employer?" said I. Mr. Wopsle shut his eyes, and opened them again;
19performing both ceremonies very slowly. "You must have observed, gentlemen," said he, "an ignorant and a blatant ass,
20with a rasping throat and a countenance expressive of low malignity, who went through--I will not say sustained--the
21rôle (if I may use a French expression) of Claudius, King of Denmark. That is his employer, gentlemen. Such is the
22profession!" Without distinctly knowing whether I should have been more sorry for Mr. Wopsle if he had been in despair,
23I was so sorry for him as it was, that I took the opportunity of his turning round to have his braces put on,--which
24jostled us out at the doorway,--to ask Herbert what he thought of having him home to supper? Herbert said he thought it
25would be kind to do so; therefore I invited him, and he went to Barnard's with us, wrapped up to the eyes, and we did
26our best for him, and he sat until two o'clock in the morning, reviewing his success and developing his plans. I forget
27in detail what they were, but I have a general recollection that he was to begin with reviving the Drama, and to end
28with crushing it; inasmuch as his decease would leave it utterly bereft and without a chance or hope. Miserably I went
29to bed after all, and miserably thought of Estella, and miserably dreamed that my expectations were all cancelled, and
30that I had to give my hand in marriage to Herbert's Clara, or play Hamlet to Miss Havisham's Ghost, before twenty
31thousand people, without knowing twenty words of it.
