Elias, I'm worried, I'll confess, but I'm not afraid. Is there anything that we have bungled?" "I have always been afraid of the chorus-girl business. I don't like chorus girls." Bansemer, at another time, would have smiled. It was past midnight when the two left the stall and started in separate ways for their North Side homes.
Granted that she was going to be a chorus-girl for a while, she could hardly find a better place than one of the Globe productions to be one in.
