When Josie Fifer, white and weak, first took charge of the H. & L. lares et penates, she told herself it was only for a few months a year or two at most. The end of sixteen years found her still there. When she came to New York, "Splendour" was just beginning its phenomenal three years' run. The city was mad about the play. People came to see it again and again a sure sign of a long run.
In less than half an hour ten regulars, some of them but very little older than Billie and Adrian, were ready for the ride which Billie had proposed and which in his mind would be as far as Moreno.
