We were not unexpected, however. It was Señor Pancorbo who had assured us in Cuzco that we should find ruins near Pucyura and he had told his major-domo to be on the look-out for us. We had a long talk with the manager of the plantation and his friends that evening.
The circumstances related to him contained invaluable hints for a ghost-drama. The title occurred to him in the railway: 'The Haunted Hotel. Post that in red letters six feet high, on a black ground, all over London and trust the excitable public to crowd into the theatre! Received with the politest attention by the manager, Francis met with a disappointment on entering the hotel.
Thither Gaston went, accompanied by the manager, who, however, left him at the door, nodding good-naturedly to Victorine, and inwardly praying that here was no danger to his business, for Victorine was a source of great profit. Yet he had failed himself, and all others had failed in winning her why should this man succeed, if that was his purpose?
'Thank Fate, however, said the Author, 'it is damned thoroughly it is off the stage I cannot be hissed again in a few days it will be forgotten meanwhile I will take a walk in the Park. Scarce had the gentleman got into the street, before, lo! at a butcher's shop blazed the 'very head and front of his offending. 'Second night of its appearance, the admired Farce of , by , Esq. Away posts the Author to the Manager.
I am quite competent; I convinced a bank manager to-day that I was fit for a situation in his establishment, but he did not like the idea of taking a young woman amongst his clerks. You can have no objection on that score. You know I will be quiet, careful, and methodical." Mrs. Dunn was very sorry, but really nobody ever thought of having young ladies to make up their books.
"But before you give me an answer," he went on, before she could accuse him of suddenness, "I must tell you that 'Ramonti' is the only name I have to offer you. My manager gave me that. I do not know who I am or where I came from. My first recollection is of opening my eyes in a hospital. I was a young man, and I had been there for weeks. My life before that is a blank to me.
Barrymore called it a case of Ollaga Zenda. They even went to Brooklyn when Eddie was playing there and asked him to stage the play for them and how he made his changes and put on his whiskers. Poor Eddie, he lacks a business head and a business manager and Sam talks and shakes his head but is little better. Lots of love and best wishes for the New Year.
"Yes, yes!" "Lorna has gone into it with a theatrical manager. She is going on the stage!" and Mary caught his hand tensely as she dashed after the car. It was a hopeless pursuit, for another machine had already come between them. It was impossible for Burke to see the number of the car, and then it turned around the next corner and was lost in the heavy traffic.
The latter used to go about snapping and snarling, with a broad laugh painted on his countenance; and I can assure you that, whatever may be said of the gravity of a monkey, or the melancholy of a gibed cat, there is no more melancholy creature in existence than a mountebank off duty. The only thing in which all parties agreed was to backbite the manager, and cabal against his regulations.
It was the first baby in Black Rock, and they used to crowd Mavor's shop and peep into the room at the back of it I forgot to tell you that when he lost his position as manager he opened a hardware shop, for his people chucked him, and he was too proud to write home for money just for a chance to be asked in to see the baby.
