"Yes what about Lola?" he demanded. "Oh, she wasn't a heroine, either. She was just human taking happiness when it offered. And her gayety and her capriciousness. A man will always break away from a solemn, intense woman to get that sort of sunshine." "Yes yes go on," said Brent. "And her sour, serious, solemn husband explains why wives are untrue to their husbands. At least, it seems so to me."
Here she had a comfortable back room, looking over a collection of back yards in which grew a number of shade trees pleasant to see. "Isn't your home in New York?" she asked of Lola one day. "Yes; but I can't get along with my people. They always want me to do what they want. Do you live here?" "Yes," said Carrie. "With your family?" Carrie was ashamed to say that she was married.
So Rayne, Lola, and myself spent a very pleasant four days with one of the most charming families I think I have ever met. Enderby was a beautiful old place lying back in a great park and surrounded by woods, half-way between Winchester and Romsey, and George Baynes, who had made a fortune in South America, and whose wife was a Brazilian lady, was a splendid host.
I said I had never seen such acting; leaving Giovanni out of consideration, all the company knew how to produce the illusion of reality even down to Lola. Micio had no opinion of Lola. She was not to be considered seriously as an actress; she might become one some day, but she was only a child. All the children of artists can do as well as she, but no one can really act who has not suffered.
It is a serpent encircling the sun, which Lola Farjados induced you to have tattooed when you were in Lima thirty years ago. Your eyes are blue and full of light, and as you were twenty when I knew you, the lapse of years has made you fifty your present age." "Shucks!" said Hervey coolly, and sat down to smoke. Don Pedro turned to Archie and Braddock. "Mr. Hope!
Mayne says, in writing on this point: Even Lola never quite succeeded in being allowed to commit bigamy unmolested, though in later years she did commit it and took refuge in Spain to escape punishment. The same writer has given a vivid picture of what happened soon after the divorce. Lola tried to forget her past and to create a new and brighter future.
Quast, in despair, was trying to make up his dull mind whether to sell them or eat them. Lola with superb feminine disregard of legal rights, annexed the whole cattery, maintained Quast in his position of pupil and assistant and informed the landlord that she would be responsible for the rent.
The picture was that of a young girl a duplicate of the portrait I had found torn across and flung aside on board the Lola! The merry eyes laughed out at me as I stood staring at it in sheer bewilderment. "What a pretty girl!" I exclaimed quickly, concealing my surprise. "Who is she?" My companion was silent a moment, her dark eyes meeting mine with a strange look of inquiry.
Thrown once more on the world, with a few hastily rescued jewels for all her fortune, Lola Montez resumed her stage life, appearing in London in a drama entitled "Lola Montez: or a Countess for an Hour."
She had not been taught any of this business. They had merely said to her, "Play about, Lola," and, being the daughter of artists, she had played about with an unconscious spontaneity that was startling. Had there been an irritable uncle on the scene he must have exclaimed "For goodness' sake, do send that child to bed."
