You can see him in Richepins's Nana Sahib or Meurice's Schamyl." "He would make a lot of money! replied Madame Caterna. "He just would I believe you, Caroline!" replied the enthusiastic actor. And for him, as for all other theatrical folks, is not the money the most serious and the least disputable manifestation of the dramatic art?
Until the Son of Heaven accorded this hero a green dragon of some sort, Madame Caterna took Zinca's hand, drew her to her heart and embraced her embraced her without being able to restrain her tears. Just think of a love story interrupted at the last chapter! But we must hasten, and as Caterna says, "all on the scene for the fifth" the fifth act, in which dramas generally clear themselves up.
Of course, as soon as they found that their attempt had failed, they would hasten to get away. How would they dare six strong to attack a hundred passengers, including the Chinese guard? Twelve of us, including Pan-Chao, Caterna, and myself, volunteered to accompany Major Noltitz.
The dinner lasted till rather late, and terminated in an unexpected manner by an offer from Caterna to recite a monologue. I need scarcely say that the offer was gladly accepted. Our train more and more resembled a small rolling town It had even its casino, this dining-car in which we were gathered at the moment.
"Sir," said he to me, "are two Frenchmen going all the way from Baku to Pekin without making each other's acquaintance?" "Sir," I replied, "when I meet a compatriot " "Who is a Parisian " "And consequently a Frenchman twice over," I added, "I am only too glad to shake hands with him! And so, Monsieur Caterna " "You know my name?" "As you know mine, I am sure."
I may as well say at once that everything was arranged satisfactorily. Next morning Kinko made a triumphal entry into the house in the Avenue Cha-Coua, where we were assembled, while Madame Caterna was showering her maternal consolations on the unhappy Zinca Klork. The newspapers had got wind of the affair.
We retired while Caterna poured out all the locutions in his marine and theatrical vocabulary. What was to be done? "Gentlemen," said Pan-Chao, "I know how things are managed in Pekin and the Celestial Empire. Two hours will not elapse from the time Kinko is arrested to the time he is brought before the judge charged with this sort of crime. He will not only be sent to prison, but the bastinado "
"Having shaken hands with your husband," said I, "I shall be happy to shake hands with you, Madame Caterna." "There you are, then," said the actress, "and without ceremony, foot to the front, and no prompting." "As you see, no nonsense about her, and the best of wives " "As he is the best of husbands." "I believe I am, Monsieur Claudius," said the actor, "and why?
A bridge of boats crosses the river, and the stream is so swift that the footway rises and falls like the waves of the sea. Madame Caterna, who had ventured on it, began to turn pale. "Caroline, Caroline," said her husband, "you will be seasick! Pull yourself together; pull yourself together!" She "pulled herself together," and we went up towards a pagoda which rises over the town.
"The proposal does you honor, Caroline," said the actor, putting his hand in his pocket. "Gentlemen," said pretty Zinca Klork, her eyes bathed in tears, "do save him before he is sentenced " "Yes, my darling," said Madame Caterna, "yes, my heart, we will save your sweetheart for you, and if a benefit performance "
