Dupree, she and Adrienne made several visits to poverty-stricken sections of the great city, leaving substantial good cheer behind them. She also discovered a special protégé in a meek-faced young girl who occupied the position of public stenographer in the hotel where the Allens were staying. Dressed in deep mourning, the girl at once enlisted Jane's sympathy.
"Allan," he said, "what do you make of this?" Montague glanced at it, and saw that it was from Lucy Dupree. "My dear Ollie," it read. "I find myself in an embarrassing position, owing to the fact that some business arrangements upon which I had counted have fallen through.
His roommates were at first loud in their jeers, but gradually the primitive jests grew less and less frequent until the daily meeting became a part of the unnoticed routine of the school. As for his friends, Silvey, after a few caustic remarks, forbore comment. Sid DuPree made the condescending admission that she wasn't half-bad after all.
Judith Stearns plumped herself down on Ethel Lacey's couch bed with an energy that bespoke her feelings. "It is as yet beyond the understanding," gloomily conceded Adrienne Dupree. "You'd better go downstairs and see Mrs. Weatherbee at once, Judy," advised Ethel. It was a most amazed and indignant trio which had gathered for a council of war in the room belonging to Ethel and Adrienne.
To Marian Seaton, however, it represented the defeat of a carefully laid scheme. Sight of Jane Allen, calmly ensconced in the swing and actually laughing at something Adrienne Dupree was relating with many gestures, filled Marian Seaton with sullen rage, not unmixed with craven fear.
Sid DuPree says they buy those things and he ought to know. He spent summer before last down South with his ma!" "Where'd we get the money to buy 'em in the first place?" asked the practical Silvey. His chum's face clouded. "Shucks, Sil, you're always spoiling things. But," more hopefully, "we needn't really worry about money anyway.
"Not much of anything. I didn't give her a chance," boasted Elsie. "That little French girl snapped me up in a hurry. She's awfully pretty, isn't she?" "She's a little cat," retorted Marian. "Look out for her. She's too clever for you. Her mother's Eloise Dupree, the dancer. She dances too. They're friends of President Blakesly's. She's awfully popular here and afraid of nobody.
Hal was not the lad to protest, so the two were soon at swords' points again. But now both Hal and Lieutenant Dupree fought more warily. Hal could read in his opponent's eyes that he had made up his mind to kill him. Touched once because of his carelessness, Hal knew that the Frenchman would be more wary. In stepping back before a fierce thrust of his opponent's sword, Hal's foot slipped.
Even Sid DuPree and Silvey and the rest of the "Tigers" had only derisive laughter. It was the first time in his life that he had been made to feel ridiculous and he liked it not at all. He felt strangely out of place and stood to one side of the yard, a scowl on his face, glaring at the throng of merrymakers.
Back from that tramping trip, he figured that since he had not annoyed the stage for some time it certainly owed him something. His return to the drama took place in "The Rose of Plymouth Town," a play in which Miss Minnie Dupree was the star. Meeting Miss Dupree, I asked her what sort of an actor Fairbanks was in those days.
