"Rostand," he observed with studied emphasis, "has been called le Prince de l'adjectif Inopine; Miss Mustelford deserves to be described as the Queen of Unexpected Movement."

The next number but one was the Gorla Mustelford debut, and the house settled itself down to yawn and fidget and chatter for ten or twelve minutes while a troupe of talented Japanese jugglers performed some artistic and quite uninteresting marvels with fans and butterflies and lacquer boxes.

"I've come to tell you the latest about the Gorla Mustelford evening," he continued. "Old Laurent is putting his back into it, and it's really going to be rather a big affair. She's going to out-Russian the Russians.
However, that is probably the fault of my imagination I've either got too much or too little. Anyhow it is an understood thing that she is to take London by storm."

He's taken quite a lot of tickets for dear Gorla's debut; half the second row of the dress-circle." "Do you mean Gorla Mustelford?" asked Yeovil, catching at the name; "what on earth is she having a debut about?" "What?" cried Joan, in loud-voiced amazement; "haven't you heard?
