Our ideals are not concerned in this Alessandra, you remember." His face clouded. "That is true. I wish it were otherwise. But can you get Olquest?" "Yes; his new play has failed. 'Too good, Westervelt said." "Oh, what blasphemy! To think Harry Olquest's plays are rejected, and on such grounds! You are right as always. I will go." "Thank you!"
Nothing could calm him. I was firm, and Alessandra was in ashes." They moved on out upon the walk and into the hideous clamor of Forty-second Street, his mind still busy with the significance of her news. Henry Olquest in an auto sat waiting for them.
If Alessandra should make a 'barrel of money, I am capable of soaring to such heights of audacity that you will be startled." To this she replied: "I am not working at rehearsal more than is necessary. Mr. Olquest is a jewel. He has taken the whole burden of the stage direction off my hands. I lie in bed till noon each morning and go for a drive each pleasant afternoon.
"That is why I should remain, to relieve you, to help you. Or, do you mean you're tired of me?" "I won't say that; but I must not see you. I must not see any one. If I do this big part right, I must rest. I intend to sleep a good part of the time. I have sent for Henry Olquest, and I intend to put the whole of the stage end of this play in his hands.
"I don't want to see a single rehearsal," replied Douglass. "I want to have the joy this time of seeing my characters on the opening night fully embodied. If the success of the play depended upon my personal supervision, the case would be different, but it doesn't. I trust you and Olquest. I will keep away." Again they went to lunch together, but the old-time elation was sadly wanting.
I do not wish to seem to run away, and, besides, I may be able to offer a suggestion now and then." "Oh, I didn't mean to have you miss the first night. You could come back for that. If you stay we will be glad of any suggestion at any time won't we, Hugh?" Hugh refused to be brought into any marked agreement. "Of course, the author's advice is valuable, but with a man like Olquest "
Do you want to see it?" "No, I leave it all to you. I want to be the author if I can. I want to get the thrill." "I think you will like our production. Mr. Olquest has done marvels with it. You'll enjoy it; I know you will. It will restore your lost youth to you." "I hope it will restore some of your lost dollars. I saw by the papers that you were still struggling with Enid.
