"In this business a girl's reputation is all she has." "I promise." Pope held out his hand to Lorelei, and as she took it her lips parted in her ever-ready smile. "Nice girl, that," the critic remarked, as he and Slosson descended the stairs. "Which one Lorelei, Lilas, or the female gorilla?" "How did she come to choose THAT for a mother?" muttered Pope.

At daylight on February 18, the movement was resumed, the immediate objective being the capture of Monte Cristo and Green Hill. One brigade was sent through the Nek on to the eastward slopes of Monte Cristo, while the other attacked the hill from the south.
