From Gilbert And Sullivan: A Biography:

The constant repetition of exalted sentiments has a most dispiriting effect on fallible human beings, and it is not surprising to learn that during the rehearsals of this play, John Hare, the actor, and William Gilbert, the author, developed the habit of flying into a temper on the slightest provocation. Once they quarreled so violently that each of them left the Court Theatre for the Underground Railway, stamped angrily up and down the same platform while waiting for a train, suddenly decided to make it up, shook hands, returned to the theatre with the intention of continuing the rehearsal, and found that the company had gone home.

reminds one of days when bonds and S&P are way down (red) and then they both go up like last week but there's no one left to requite their buys.
