"If you call it placed," said Connie, grinning. "We open Monday in Sacramento." "Aha! But why Sacramento?" "Oh, we've got to open somewhere, I suppose! Try it out on the dog, you know!" Connie said, with a sort of bored airiness. "And you, my dear?" said Artheris, turning toward Julia.
Every one stared frankly at her, as she said languidly: "Perhaps it's I you're looking for? Mr. Artheris " "Yes, that's right!" said Matty, relieved. He wiped his forehead. He paused, a little at a loss, eying the other ladies of the caste dubiously. The girl called Barbara Toland now came forward with her ready graciousness, and the two girls looked fairly into each other's eyes.
Artheris wants you to do it, and it wouldn't hurt you none to have him on your side, Julia. I promised I'd talk to you." "One performance?" Julia asked. "What play?" "I'd do it in a minute," said the stout actress from Portland, whose dance had been so gratifying a success, "but I'm signed up." "One night, dear," Mrs. Tarbury said. "I don't think they've decided on the play."
A few weeks after Julia's long day of events with Artheris, with Carter Hazzard, and young Rosenthal, she chanced to awaken one Saturday morning to a pleasant, undefined sensation that life was sweet. She thought of Mr. Hazzard, whom she had seen twice since their first meeting, but not alone again.
Julia tossed her head and walked off without speaking, but presently an oblique swift glance at him showed his expression to be all penitent and beseeching; their eyes met, and they both laughed. Still laughing, they came upon Artheris and Connie, and all walked out together on the deserted stage. The great empty arch was but dimly lighted, draughty, odorous, and gloomy.
Yet she liked the sensation of being scolded by Connie, too, and tried shyly, as the conversation seemed inclined to veer toward Connie's own affairs, to bring it back to her own. The little matter of the corsets being settled, they sauntered through the always diverting streets toward the office of Leopold Artheris, manager of the Grand Opera House, and a very good friend of both girls.
