They like it!" said Charmian quickly. "Three calls. That's unusual after a first act, when the audience hasn't warmed up. Isn't it odd, Claudie, that Americans always applaud quite differently from the way the English do? They always applaud like that." She had turned right round and was almost facing him. "How do you mean?" he said. "Didn't you notice? Persistently, but in clumps as it were.
"I am going into town," said Clement; "and then we are going to spend the day at Aunt Barbara's. They are making hay there. May Claude go? It would make him quite well to play among the hay with me and Fanny and Stephen. Mamma, mayn't he go? Tudie, do let Claudie go." "Mamma, mamma, let me go. Let Mattie dress me. Oh, I want to go among the hay!"
Faces, faces, faces, and brains and souls behind them. I love to see all these faces to-day. I feel the brains and the souls are wanting something that you are going to give them." "Let us hope one or two out of the multitude may be!" "One or two! Claudie, you miserable niggard! You always think yourself unwanted. But you will see to-night.
"True, father: there are some good girls in our village. There's Louise and Sylvaine and Claudie and Marguerite any one you please, in fact." "Softly, softly, my boy, all those girls are too young or too poor or too pretty; for we must think of that, too, my son. A pretty woman isn't always as steady as a plainer one." "Do you want me to take an ugly one, pray?" said Germain, a little disturbed.
Suppose you and I run over to Paris " "Would you let me, Claudie?" she interrupted. "Oh!" he said, laughing, but without much mirth. "Do whatever you like, my children. You make me feel as if I know nothing about myself, nothing at all." "Weren't you one of the best orchestral pupils at the Royal College?" said Alston. "Didn't you win ?"
One of them was an acquaintance of Van Brinen's. Claude asked him if Van Brinen were in the house. He said yes. Claude then inquired whether Van Brinen knew the number of his box, and was told that he did know it. The conversation turned to other topics, but when the two men had gone out Charmian said: "Why did you ask those questions about Mr. Van Brinen, Claudie?"
"How terribly hot this room is!" he said. "Americans like their rooms hot. But open a little bit of the window, Claudie." "If I do the noise of Fifth Avenue will come in." He spoke almost irritably, like a man whose nerves were tired. But Charmian did not seem to notice it. She looked bright, resolute, dominant, as she replied in her clear voice: "Let it come in. I like to hear it.
Then hastily he opened his letters. Three were from autograph hunters, and he thrust them into the pocket of his coat. The fourth was from Armand Gillier. When Claude saw the name of his collaborator he stood still and read the note frowning. "Letters! Always letters!" said Charmian, coming up. "Anything interesting, Claudie?" "Gillier is coming out after all." "Armand Gillier!" "Yes.
Caroline hastily indicated her presence. "Come up! The darling, she shall have a piece of cake, two pieces! There! And the sugary part, too!" "You'll make her ill." "Never mind. If she is ill it is in a good cause. Claudie, just think, you are going to be another Jacques Sennier! It's too wonderful. And yet I knew it. Didn't I tell you that night in the opera house? I said it would be so.
They are always extraordinary." There was a mysterious pleasure, almost gratification, in her voice. "You would be like that. I should have known." "Oh, as to that " "I understand, Claudie. You needn't say any more." Claude turned rather brusquely round to face the fire. As he said nothing, Charmian continued: "What is to be done now? We have taken this house " He wheeled round.
