Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Enterprising Impresario
Prima Donna's feet. He is the incarnation of unlimited liability. He is liable to the public, liable to the artists, liable to Government, liable to proprietors, liable, in short, to everything and everybody except himself. By nature amphi bious; at times strutting proudly upon the high and dry land of prosperity, at others wallowing in the muddy waters of misfortune; equally familiar with both, he is philosophically indifferent to either. His habits are luxurious to extravagance. Whether fortune frown or smile, he keeps his carriages and horses; he is a good 'whip, and, if not gouty, riding is his favourite exercise.
