No one who had lived with her in her stage days had ever grown fat; it was as much as a very strong constitution could do not to grow thin. Madame Bonanni had presented the cadaverous woman to the young Primadonna as one of the most precious of her possessions, and out of sheer affection.
Oh, don't think it is so easy to be good! But it's possible! One can one could, if one only knew for the sake of some one whom one loves very dearly! 'Of course it is! answered Margaret, with all the heavenly self-confidence of untried virtue. Madame Bonanni looked at her with a peculiar expression.
In the corridor Madame Bonanni met the contralto taking a temporary leave of the wholesale upholsterer at the door of her dressing-room, a black-browed, bony young Italian woman with the face of a Medea, whose boast it was that with her voice and figure she could pass for a man when she pleased. Madame Bonanni greeted her and stopped a moment.
Besides, she knew something which Margaret did not know; for when she had come down to the theatre in the morning with the luggage, she had met Madame Bonanni in the dressing-room, and her late mistress had given her a piece of information and some very precise instructions.
The elderly artist burst into tears on hearing the result of the interview with Madame Bonanni, and fell upon Margaret's neck. 'I knew it, she said.

Thereupon Madame Bonanni kissed the contralto affectionately, as she kissed most people, nodded and smiled to the wholesale upholsterer, and went on her way to cross the stage and get back to her box. She found Lushington there when she opened the door, looking as if he had not moved since she had left him. He rose as she entered, and then sat down beside her.
