A voice called from the hallway: "It's me, Mr. Potter. Packer." "Oh, come in! Come in!" The stage-manager made a deferential entrance. "It's about Miss " "Sit down, Packer." "Thank you, Mr. Potter." Evidently considering the command a favour, Packer sat. "I saw Miss Lyston, sir " "I won't turn her adrift," said his employer peevishly. "You see, Mr.
"Miss Lyston," he said, delaying each syllable to pack it more solidly with ice, "will you be good enough to inform this company if there is anything in your lines to warrant your breaking into a speech of mine with a horrible noise like that?" "Nothing." "Then perhaps you will inform us why you do break into a speech of mine with a horrible noise like that?" "I only coughed, Mr.
You'll be telling me what my 'technique' ought to be, next!" He hurled himself again into the chair and moaned, then in a dismal voice inquired; "Miss Lyston struck you as feeling that her condition in life was distinctly improved by this ascent into vaudeville, didn't she?"

And we start so late in the season, this year, she'll probably not be able to get anything else to do; so she's on my hands. I can't turn people out in the snow like that.
She may have fooled you, Packer, or perhaps perhaps" he paused, frowning "perhaps you were trying to fool me, too. I don't know your private life; you may have reasons to help her de " "Mr. Potter!" cried the distressed man. "What could be my object? I don't know Miss Lyston off. I was only telling you the simple truth." "How do I know?" Potter gave him a piercing look.
Potter this simply as an added insult on the part of Miss Lyston. "French!" "They say it's a wonderful little thing," said Packer innocently, but it was as if he had run a needle into his sensitive employer. Potter instantly sprang up again with a cry of pain. "Of course it's wonderful! It's French; everything French is wonderful, magnificent, Supreme! Everything French is HOLY! Good God, Packer!
