"I'm told that salad is the one vegetable we have from the Romans," said the old boy, as he munched at the crisp green leaves. "It's mentioned by Horace, you know. As I was saying, all this was in Symmes's early days. But since his son's been grown up, he's married another chorus-girl." After the salad the Major had another cocktail.
There came the same gleaming twinkle in his eye that had disarmed her resentment once before, and as before, she found herself feeling rather absurd. What mattered the microcephalic imaginings of greasy Dave and his friends among the chorus? John Galbraith wasn't the sort of man to get infatuated with a chorus-girl. The gleam in his eye was enough, all by itself, to make that plain.
It's no good trying to explain to him that your Mabel is in the chorus but not of the chorus, so to speak." "Deuced well put!" said Archie, approvingly. "You're absolutely right. A chorus-girl by the river's brim, so to speak, a simple chorus-girl is to him, as it were, and she is nothing more, if you know what I mean."
Whether his reward had been collected in advance, or was still unpaid, was an interesting theme for debate. But that, past or present, the reward was his actuating motive, it wouldn't occur to anybody to question. There was no malice in this. Rose didn't lose caste with any of them on account of it. But a chorus-girl is the most sentimental person in the world.
She must have an instinct of her own for effects to enable her to understand so instantaneously what he was trying to do. And once in a while, especially lately, he'd seen, over some experiment of his, a flash of dissent across her eager face which gave him the preposterous idea that by asking her asking a chorus-girl! he might get a suggestion worth thinking about.
Don't you know? 'I know but it's always left out. Nobody has sung that for years. It's a chorus-girl who is brought on in the bag, and when Rigoletto sees her face he screams and the curtain goes down. You don't mean to say that Schreiermeyer wants you to do the whole scene? 'Yes. We've rehearsed it ever so often. I thought it was strange, too.
"Oh, I don't mean overnight," he said, "but mornings between rehearsals whenever you can." "I wasn't thinking of that," said Rose. "I was just wondering if they'd want to be taught I mean, by another chorus-girl, you know." "They'll want to be taught if they want to keep their jobs," said Galbraith.
The boy's heart that grieves to death for a chorus-girl, the little clerk who mourns to madness for the bright life that flashes from the point of sight of his high office stool, never felt more keenly the nervous pain of desire and the lassitudes of resistance. You think John Norton did not suffer in his imperious desire to pull down the home of his fathers and build a monastery!
Landis was "in" Society! And moreover, she spent nearly as much upon her clothes as Miss Yvette, and the clothes were quite as conspicuous; and if the papers did not print pages about them, it was not because Mrs. Landis was not perfectly willing. She was painted and made up quite as frankly as any chorus-girl on the stage.
"If it was for the advancement of your career, yes," Ferriday insisted. "What's Mr. Dyckman got to do with my career?" "He can make it, if he doesn't break it." "Come again." "If you fall in love with that big thug, or if you play him for a limousine like a chorus-girl on the make, your career is gone.
