Still, there was a ray of hope left: it might have been the dampness of the drive home which had worked me this woe. I rushed into F 's dressing-room and demanded quite fiercely whether my cap had been like that all the time. "Why, yes," F admitted; adding by way of consolation, "In fact, it is a good deal subdued now: it was very wild all dinner-time.
"Your boy, Arthur, went to bed after his interview with you but he slept badly on account of his uneasiness about his club debts. In the middle of the night he heard a soft tread pass his door, so he rose and, looking out, was surprised to see his cousin walking very stealthily along the passage until she disappeared into your dressing-room.
Lucy bit her lip as she replied, "Why, of course, we must dress to suit you, or stay at home." Lizzie looked quickly at her sister, as if asking how long since she had come to this conclusion; but Lucy's face was calm and unruffled, betraying no secrets, although her tongue did when, after dinner, she found herself alone with Lizzie in their dressing-room.
"And you really think that I look enough like Jones to put this over?" "In the shaded light of the dining-room, in Jones' clothes well, I'm risking a hundred dollars on it. Will you do it?"

One hour and a half later, the dummy-chucker stared at himself in the long mirror in his host's dressing-room.
They had been frolicking about for some time, while Billy Wise was sitting down at some little distance off, watching them.

If she did make the effort of coming, to please him, she was so sure to be the worse for it, that her mother would keep her up-stairs the next time, and try to prevent her from knowing that her father was put out, and declared it was nonsense to expect poor Amy to get up her spirits, while she never saw a living soul, and only sat moping in the dressing-room.
"Sir," said the Persian, "your tall hat will be in your way: you would do well to leave it in the dressing-room." "What dressing-room?" asked Raoul. "Christine Daae's." And the Persian, letting Raoul through the door which he had just opened, showed him the actress' room opposite.
"I understand," he said, "that no human being can sing as you sang the other evening without the intervention of some miracle. No professor on earth can teach you such accents as those. You have heard the Angel of Music, Christine." "Yes," she said solemnly, "IN MY DRESSING-ROOM. That is where he comes to give me my lessons daily." "In your dressing-room?" he echoed stupidly.
She did not hear Osborn come in. He looked about the flat for her before going to his dressing-room, and, not finding her, said to himself wilfully: "Marie's sulking; she wouldn't wait up. Does she always expect a fellow to stay at home?" By the glim of the nightlight, when he went into their room he saw her sleeping. The child slept, too.
