He Mitchell, you know mentioned to me the names of the people who were going to be asked to act, and among them, Miss Wrenner's name cropped up I think he said Miss Wrenner was going to be asked to play the heroine if they could get her no I'm wrong, it was that she had asked to play the heroine, and that they meant to get out of it if they could.
'Oh, Miss Wrenner's that girl who a friend of the Mitchells; you know. 'I don't know. Miss Wrenner is quite new to me. So are the Mitchells. What is she like? 'Like! exclaimed Bruce. 'You ask me what she's like! Why, she isn't like anything. She's just Miss Wrenner the well-known Miss Wrenner, who's so celebrated as an amateur actress.
'Then does Miss Wrenner come to the office? Bruce stared at her in silent pity. 'Miss Wrenner! At the office! Why you must be wool-gathering! Women are not allowed at the F O. Surely you know that, dear? 'Well, then, where did you meet Miss Wrenner? 'Miss Wrenner? Why do you ask? 'Simply because I want to know. 'Oh! Good heavens! What does it matter where I met Miss Wrenner?
What I intended to convey was, not that I had seen Miss Wrenner, but that Mitchell said Miss Wrenner would be surprised to hear I was married. 'Funny he should say that very curious it should occur to him to picture Miss Wrenner's astonishment at the marriage of a man she didn't know, and had never seen.
Why should I palm myself off as a gay bachelor when I'm nothing of the sort? 'When did you tell her, Bruce? 'Why, I haven't told her yet at least, not personally. What happened really was this: Mitchell said to me, "Miss Wrenner will be surprised to hear you're a married man," or something like that. 'Where did all this happen? 'At the office. Where else do I ever see Mitchell?
'Bruce has just rung up. He wants to know if Raggett's here. He says he'll be home in half an hour. He doesn't feel up to the mark, and can't stay at the office. 'Poor little Edith! 'And don't for goodness sake bother yourself about Cecil. As if there was any man in the world who hadn't liked somebody some time or other! Hyacinth laughed, kissed her, and went away. Miss Wrenner
'You're right, Bruce; it doesn't really matter a bit. I suppose you've forgotten. 'No; I haven't forgotten. I suppose I shall meet Miss Wrenner at the first rehearsal next week at the Mitchells. 'Was it there you met her before? 'How could it be? I have never been to the Mitchells. 'As a matter of fact, you've never seen Miss Wrenner? 'Did I say I had? I didn't mean to.
And Miss Wrenner how will she be dressed at the fancy ball? 'Miss Wrenner? Oh! Didn't I tell you Miss Wrenner isn't going to act they've got someone else instead. Anne Returns It was about six o'clock, and Hyacinth was sitting in her boudoir alone. It was a lovely room and she herself looked lovely, but, for a bride of four months, a little discontented.
Not that I mean for a moment to imply that I'm particularly good-looking, Edith I'm not such a fool as that. But well, naturally, it's always an advantage in playing the part of a jeune premier not to be quite bald and to go in decently at the waist, and to Fancy, Miss Wrenner didn't know I was a married man! 'Miss Wrenner! Who's Miss Wrenner? 'Why she Don't you know who Miss Wrenner is? 'No.
Why, she was going to play last Christmas at Raynham, only after all the performance never came off. 'Is Miss Wrenner pretty? 'Pretty? How do you mean? 'What colour is her hair? 'Well, I I I didn't notice, particularly. 'Is she dark or fair? You must know, Bruce! 'Well, I should say she was a little darker than you not a great deal. But I'm not quite certain.
