When people in real life marry, they generally hunt up somebody in their own station. A fellow usually picks out a girl that went to the same high-school and belonged to the same singing-society that he did. When young millionaires fall in love, they always select the chorus-girl that likes the same kind of sauce on the lobster that he does.
"I mean," explained the doctor, "dat he must be a man of character of brain. Id is de noble man dat is attracted by de noble woman." "By the chorus-girl more often," suggested Miss Fossett. "We must hope for the best," counselled Peter. "I cannot believe that a clever, capable woman like Mary Ramsbotham would make a fool of herself."
But just before he gave the signal to the pianist to go ahead, Galbraith with a nod summoned a young man from the wings and said something to him, whereupon, clearly carrying out his orders, he vaulted down from the stage and came walking toward the doorway where Rose was still standing. The director's gaze as it flashed about the hall, had evidently discovered more than the sulky chorus-girl.
"What can I do for you?" she asked. Her voice was as tight and brisk as the rest of her. "I'm looking for a job," said Rose. Miss Gibbons came a step closer and her bright look pierced a little more deeply. "So!" she said. "You're the actress, are you?" Rose smiled at that. "I'm not a real actress," she said, "but I'm who you mean. I was a chorus-girl with that company that broke down here."
All the better, little Miss Donne, all the better for you that you have never been made to see, and perhaps you never will now. I hope not. But I tell you that in Paris, or in London, or Berlin, or Petersburg you may have the voice and talent of Malibran, Grisi and Patti all in one, but if you are not "protected" you will never get any further than leading chorus-girl, and perhaps not so far!
No alternative appeared in that darkness. It seemed intolerable that she should go home and admit herself beaten. She did most urgently desire to save her face in Morningside Park, and for long hours she could think of no way of putting it that would not be in the nature of unconditional admission of defeat. "I'd rather go as a chorus-girl," she said.
"I have been told," she remarked, rather scornfully, "that gentlemen are fond of the society of chorus-girls I suppose they enjoy a certain freedom there that they don't meet elsewhere." "Neither Miss Ross nor Miss Girond is a chorus-girl," he said though he wasn't going to lose his temper over nothing. "They have both sung in the chorus," she retorted, snappishly.
"I don't know why you should tell me of your chorus-girl friends of your suppers and all that. I don't care to hear of them and I don't intend that you shall use me as a subject of illustration. I am going upstairs." "Oh, come now, that's rather rough, just as we were getting on so well. All the fellows do the same " "I know. You need not tell me.
As she don't know any English words, that is the only thing we have agreed about. She said, Ja wohl! This going to balls and cafés as I'm doing is all right for local color and all that, but it would tickle dad a lot if I knew a quiet, decent, respectable German family. And I want to know a nice, sober German girl who has got yellow, chorus-girl hair and will steady a fellow down.
One of these pouty-lipped, rich-tinted fairies, Ella May is, wearin' a baby stare and chorus-girl ear-danglers. Does she wait to be hunted up and rescued? Not her! The minute I drops out of the machine, she trips right over and gives me the hail. "Are you looking for me?" says she. "I hope you are, for I've been waiting at this wretched station for ages." "If it's Miss Buell, I am," says I.
