Yes, Mrs. Lathrop, that's my view in a nutshell, the more so as Mr. Kimball openly says as Elijah Doxey says he's a genius an' can't live in any house where there's other folks or any noise but his own. Mr.
He never sought an opportunity to discuss the various methods and processes of sustaining life, yet, somehow, he seemed to be always discussing them. Some of his acquaintances annoyed him excessively for example, Doxey. 'That won't last long, old chap, said Doxey, who had called about finance. 'I've known other men try that. Give me the good old English breakfast.
Doxey demanded fifty pounds, and Henry amiably wrote out the cheque on the spot and received Doxey's lavish gratitude. Love in Babylon is played on the average a hundred and fifty times a year by the amateur dramatic societies of Great Britain and Ireland, and for each performance Henry touches a guinea.
'You mean, you think he is, Geraldine put in. 'Well, he is, Doxey pursued, after a brief pause. 'I'm sure he is. I've sketched out a bit of a scenario. Now, if you'd give permission and go shares, I'd do it, old chap. 'A play, eh? was all that Henry said. Doxey nodded. 'There's nothing like the theatre, you know. 'What do you mean there's nothing like the theatre? 'For money, old chap.
Doxey, with a disastrous lack of foresight, had been in the opposite wing, and had had to run round the stage in order to come before the curtain. Doxey's share in the triumph was decidedly less than half.... 'No, Henry said later, with splendid calm, when Geraldine, Jane, Doxey, and himself were drinking champagne in Jane's Empire dressing-room, 'it wasn't nervousness.
The stage seemed very large, and he was cut off from the audience by a wall of blinding rays, and at first he could only distinguish vast vague semicircles and a floor of pale, featureless faces. However, he depended upon Mr. Doxey. But when the trick-box had been brought on to the stage it was a sort of a sentry-box raised on four legs Henry soon began to recover his self-possession.
'Yes, said Henry with judicial calm, after he had read Mr. Doxey's stage version of Love in Babylon, 'it makes a nice little piece. 'I'm glad you like it, old chap, said Doxey. 'I thought you would. They were in Henry's study, seated almost side by side at Henry's great American roll-top desk. 'You've got it a bit hard in places, Henry pursued. 'But I'll soon put that right.
Then, seeing Henry's face, she jumped up, crossed over to her husband, and gave him a smacking kiss between the eyes. 'Dearest, I didn't mean it! she whispered enchantingly. He smiled. She flew back to her seat just as the door opened. 'Mr. Doxey, said a new parlourmaid, intensely white and black, and intensely aware of the eminence of her young employers.
He said I was right about its being a fine flute, an' he was just achin' to hear it an' blow it. I told him to let me hunt an' maybe I'd find the key, an' so he went off some soothed, an' now the Lord have mercy on you an' me, for Elijah Doxey never will from this day on. Will you only think of him bein' nervous an' playin' nights!
'Very well, she agreed. 'And I shan't forget. I shall hold you to your promise. Just then two men passed the table, and one of them caught Geraldine's eye, and Geraldine bowed. 'Well, Mr. Doxey, she exclaimed. 'What ages since I saw you! 'Yes, isn't it? said Mr. Doxey. They shook hands and talked a moment. 'Let me introduce you to Mr. Henry Knight, said Geraldine.
