He led the way to a sidedoor, whispered something to an attendant, and was quickly ushered through another door to an ante-room behind the wings, where Weiss, livid with anger, was struggling into an opera-cloak. The concert-director gasped as he caught sight of the American. "Ah, my dear Mr. Fullaway!" he exclaimed. "You here! You have heard? you have been in front.
Her first glance fell on the concert-director, and she shook her fist at him. "Go away, Weiss!" she commanded, accompanying the vigorous action of her hand with an equally emphatic stamp of a shapely foot. "Go away at once go and play on the French horn; go and do anything you like to satisfy your audience! Not one note do I sing until somebody finds me my jewels!

I noticed on that poster that this affair is being run by the Concert-Director Ernest Weiss. I know Weiss he'll get us an interview with the great lady after she's appeared the first time."
"Weiss!" whispered Fullaway. "Something's wrong! Look at his face he's in big trouble."
