At Her Majesty's Theatre one night the famous tragedian, Mr. Phelps, and the great actress, Miss Helen Faucit, in the tragedy of Macbeth, froze the blue blood of a whole tier of royal personages and made them realize what crowns were worth, and how little they had earned theirs, by showing what men and women will go through with to secure one.
A wave of crimson spread over Pauline's face the crimson of wounded surprise, which froze Selma's genial intentions to the core. "I didn't think you'd mind talking about it," she said stiffly. "There's nothing to talk about. Since you have mentioned it, Dr. "Oh, I knew you were nothing but friends now," Selma answered. She felt wounded in her turn.
