"I have been told," she remarked, rather scornfully, "that gentlemen are fond of the society of chorus-girls I suppose they enjoy a certain freedom there that they don't meet elsewhere." "Neither Miss Ross nor Miss Girond is a chorus-girl," he said though he wasn't going to lose his temper over nothing. "They have both sung in the chorus," she retorted, snappishly.
"Don Giovanni, a cenar teco M' invitasti è son venuto!" Lionel let down the window. "Do you see that, Miss Girond?" "It is the moon, Leo!" cried Nina. "Ah, but so dull!" "That is the fog lying over the low country," he said; "it may be clearer when we get to the top of the hill. It is to be hoped so, at all events.
"But in her letter to Miss Girond she hopes you won't be put to any inconvenience. By the way, if Miss Ross owes you any forfeit, I'll settle that up with you." "No, there's no forfeit in her agreement; it wasn't considered necessary," the manager made answer. "Of course I am assuming that it's all fair and square; that she hasn't gone off to take a better engagement "
Girond had got her pretty little blue coat made with so long a skirt. Besides, Nina, with a voice like yours, you will soon be beyond having to take parts like that." Indeed, she was so evidently anxious to obtain an engagement in the same theatre that he himself was engaged in that his vague reluctance ultimately vanished; and he began considering when he could bring her before Mr.
"I have to look after you young ladies, and you must conduct yourselves with the strictest decorum." "Yes, for Nina," Mlle. Girond cried, gayly. "That is for Nina for me, no! I will have some amusement, or I will run away. Who gave you control of me, monsieur? I thank you, but I do not wish it." "Estelle!" said Nina, in tones of grave reproach.
Girond. Nor did it lessen his embarrassment to find, as soon as he mentioned this possibility, that to join the New Theatre was precisely what Signorina Rossi desired. "I don't think there would be much difficulty about it, Nina," he was forced to admit carefully concealing his reluctance the while.
Perhaps some day we shall hear of her coming over here again, as a famous star in grand opera; that will be her revenge. But I never thought Nina would want to be revenged on me." And yet he was uneasy; there was something in all this he did not understand. He began to long for the coming of the next day, that he might go away down to Sloane Street and hear what Miss Girond had to tell him.
Girond only too ready to throw away the French novel she was reading. Nina had to disappear into the dressing-room; but this small boy-officer in the gay uniform, with his or her pretty gesticulation and charm of broken English, was quite willing to entertain Mr. Moore, though at times she would forget all about him and walk across to the full-length mirror and twist her small moustache.
Girond as Capitaine Crépin in 'The Squire's Daughter." "Send round to some stationer's shop, will you, and get me that?" When the messenger returned with the photograph, Lionel, rather timidly, put it before her; but, indeed, there was nothing in the costume of Mlle. Girond to startle any one the uniform of the boy-officer was so obviously a compromise. Nina glanced at it thoughtfully.
"Oh, we don't want foreigners in English opera; why don't they take a barrel-organ through the streets, or a couple of canaries in a cage?" Nor was that all; for here was Mlle. Girond; and the smart little boy-officer, as she came along the passage, was gayly singing to herself, "Le rôti, la salade, L'amour, la promenade À deux dans les Dans les Deux dans les À deux dans les bluets!"
