She had been on the point of becoming a chorus-girl; she was balked, however, for despite her good voice and excellent ear for music, she could not pronounce the words clearly because of her missing teeth. La Mella was always in high spirits, singing and laughing at all hours of the day and night.
A big blonde chorus-girl was in there with a man, a girl, who, with twenty pounds trained off her, and that sulky look out of her face, would have been a beauty. She had roused herself with a sort of defiant deliberation at the sound of the director's voice, but she still had her back to him and went on talking to the man.
"Say, you're a young man of your word!" he remarked appreciatively. Philip Romilly was accosted, late that afternoon, by two young women whose presence on board he had noticed with a certain amount of disapproval. They were obviously of the chorus-girl type, a fact which they seemed to lack the ambition to conceal.
"I don't know. Some weeks." "Why didn't you tell me?" "I did. I said I had met her at Mrs. Wolfstein's lunch." "No, but why didn't you tell me how like you she was?" There was complete silence in the brougham for a minute. Then Lady Holme said: "I had no idea she was like me." "Then you're blind, old girl. She's like you if you'd been a chorus-girl and known a lot of things you don't know."
"There's always some woman ready to enter a man's life when he throws the door ajar and here I'm positively flinging it open, inviting the little dears to come in!" "But, I say, Owen" Barry looked anxiously at his friend "you ... you'll be careful, won't you? I mean, you won't let any twopenny-halfpenny little chorus-girl, or ... or girl out of a shop come in, will you?
'As a matter of fact, he said, haughtily, 'I was to have had supper with a chorus-girl this very night. 'How very appalling! said she, languidly. She sipped her cocoa. 'I suppose you consider that very terrible? she said. 'For a beginner. She crumbled her cake. Suddenly she looked up. 'Who is she? she demanded, fiercely. 'I beg your pardon? he said, coming out of a pleasant reverie.
"If she is so like you as all that, I COULDN'T have forgotten her." "She is quite unknown, I believe," she went on, ignoring the implied compliment. "A chorus-girl, or something like that. They say she is wonderfully like me or was, at least, a few years ago." He was silent for a few minutes, studying her face and figure with the critical eye of the artist.
Annoyed at the mother's negligence, Kate hung the trousers on the door, placed the slippers tidily by his bedside, and put away the soiled linen. But in doing so she could not refrain from glancing at the contents of the portmanteau. She saw many of the traces which follow those who frequent women's society. The duchess works a pair of slippers for her lover, and the chorus-girl does the same.
She would quite willingly have been the humblest chorus-girl in "Pinafore," if Clarence had willed to have that much-done classic. But he seemed determined to have her play a large part in whatever it was, and to have whatever it was Iolanthe. He wanted to be Strephon, it seemed; in fact, he had been. And he wanted Joy for the Phyllis or Iolanthe.
Mr Goble's idea of a musical piece was something embracing trained seals, acrobats, and two or three teams of skilled buck-and-wing dancers, with nothing on the stage, from a tree to a lamp-shade, which could not suddenly turn into a chorus-girl. The austere legitimateness of "The Rose of America" gave him a pain in the neck. He loathed plot, and "The Rose of America" was all plot.
