Bernard Beere on the eve of the production of his play called The Promise of May.
He read it through to us himself, and here he adopted a more direct and dramatic style, giving admirable point to the humour of the rustic scenes.
As we stood up to take our leave he put his hand on Mrs. Beere's shoulder and said, "You are tall.
I am tall too. Carlyle once said to me I ought to have been a grenadier." The Promise of May was not one of Tennyson's successful essays in dramatic writing, and it may, I
... think, be doubted whether he possessed in any great degree the dramatic quality. And yet, on two occasions at the Lyceum Theatre, under the guidance of Irving, a deep impression was made upon the public. Both The Cup and Decket have scenes that make a simple and dramatic appeal to the heart; and the latter, at any rate, served to supply the actor with the material for one of his greatest impersonations.
196 REMINISCENCES It was while Irving was rehearsing Becket that he told me a story of Tennyson that has both a pathetic and humorous significance.
