"Have you seen the class-rooms?" "Not yet." "The gym's utterly perfect!" "And so is the lab." "Shame we've had to wait for it so long!" "Never mind, we've got into it at last!" Among the numbers of girls in the capacious dressing-rooms, Ingred also hung up her hat and coat, and passed on into the long corridor.
This novel arrangement of draperies is very satisfactory in a small room. In my own house the bedrooms open into dressing-rooms, so much of the usual furniture is not necessary. My own bedroom, for instance, is built around the same old Breton bed I had in the Washington Irving house.
By half-past eight the first arrivals could be seen hesitating at the outer door, as though reluctant to make a plunge; herded finally to the right and left of men's and women's dressing-rooms. After a long, chattering interval, encouraged by the slow accumulation of numbers, a little group debouched on the main, floor.
Suddenly the orchestra downstairs broke out into a clash of harmony and then swung off with the beat and cadence of a waltz. The dance was beginning; a great bustle and hurrying commenced about the dressing-rooms and at the head of the stairs; everybody went down. In the front parlour by the mantel Henrietta Vance and Turner stood on either side of Mrs.
She avoided a collision with one of the stone posts narrowly enough to startle him into releasing her, he hadn't realized the turn was so close and stopped at the lighted carriage door with a jerk that left him no option but to get out at once. She nodded a curt good night and drove back to the park; went to one of the dressing-rooms and washed her face.
Having found Constance her half-seat with Lady Tate, I stood beside one of the gangways below the platform, which lead to the dressing-rooms and other offices. Beside me was a table for Press representatives. There, with their pencils, I noted Campbell, of the Daily Gazette, and other men I knew, including Carew, for the Standard, who had an assistant with him.
We had, besides two entrances, a large dining-room, drawing-room, kitchen, six bedrooms, lots of closets, cupboards, dressing-rooms, and an immense garret all over the first floor, well lighted by two windows, and paved with bricks. The fact is that circumstances allowed of no choice, and we had to resign ourselves to the inevitable.
Such palaces as the Hudson Theatre, New York, were not dreamed of when we were at the Star, which was, however, quite equal to any theatre in London, in front of the footlights. The stage itself, the lighting appliances, and the dressing-rooms were inferior. Our First Appearance Before an American Audience Henry made his first appearance in America in "The Bells."
The books had greatly outgrown the space allotted to them, and several of the neighbouring rooms had been annexed as occasion required; hence it consisted of half-a-dozen rooms, some of them merely closets intended for dressing-rooms, and all very ill lighted. I entered it however in no critical spirit, but with a feeling of reverential delight. My uncle's books had taught me to love books.
"Only Blanche's box, Colonel Damer," said Bella Clayton. "She doesn't wish to unpack it, and it will be in her way here, I'm afraid. It might stand in your dressing-room." This she said as a "feeler," knowing that some gentlemen do not like to be inconvenienced, even in their dressing-rooms. But Colonel Damer was as unselfish as it was possible for an old Indian to be.
