Anthony Powell Quotes

Sir Magnus Donners Himself Appeared To Greet His Guests At Exactly The Same Moment. I Wondered Whether He Had Been Watching At A Peephole. It Was Like The Stage Entrance Of A Famous Actor, The Conscious Modesty Of Which Is Designed, By Its Absolute Ease And Lack Of Emphasis, Both To Prevent The Performance From Being Disturbed At Some Anti-climax Of The Play By Too Deafening A Round Of Applause, At The Same Time To Confirm
what Everyone In The Theater Knows Already
the Complete Mastery He Possesses Of His Art. The Manner In Which Sir Magnus Held Out His Hand Also Suggested Brilliant Miming Of A Distinguished Man Feeling A Little Uncomfortable About Something.
