Harry Musgrave," said Bessie demurely, but not without pride. "Oh, indeed! The crudeness Mr. Logger remarked in it is accounted for, then," said my lady, and Bessie's triumph was abated. Also my lady carried off the review, and she saw it no more. "It is only Aunt Olympia's way," whispered Dora to comfort her. "It will go off.
"Well tell me, my dear Oh, I didn't mean that; artists use it a good deal; it just means `old chap. You don't mind my asking such beastly personal questions, do you? I'm interested in people.... And now I must go up and write a letter. I was going over to Olympia's she's one of the Interesting People I spoke of but you see you have been much more amusing. Good night.
The two girls sat down, hand in hand, and Olympia told the tale as it has been set down in these pages. Kate was sobbing when the story ended. She flung her arms about Olympia's neck, and for a time the two sat silent, tearful. "Oh, why didn't he tell me this at the time? It was not Jack's bullet that entered poor Wesley's body. Jack was at his right, at the side of the bed.
With the Olympia still pounding at her, she swung around and started back for the protection of the navy yard. Just after she had turned a well-aimed shell from one of the Olympia's eight-inch guns struck her, fairly wrecking the engine- room and exploding a magazine.
In a couple of hours I must attend the Cardinal Gonzaga, and what intelligence shall I have to give him? Memmo.

Rosa was not long in discovering Vincent's happy tumult in Olympia's presence, and she secretly misunderstood Jack the more that he was so lavish and open in his adulations.
She said scarce a word beyond: "I'm sick of Olympia's bunch I never want to dine in Soho with an inhibition and a varietistic sex instinct again jamais de la vie. But one has to play with somebody." Then he was so cheered that he tapped the pavements boldly with his stick and delicately touched her arm as they crossed the street.
Clara was bewildered and almost terrified by the black darkness of the passage, which was lighted only by fitful gleams from the stage; but excitement kept up her courage, and she entered Olympia's dressing-room with the air of a person born to the tragic purple. Caroline was lying upon a heap of rich garments piled on the sofa.
Lord Hilton made no answer. The conversation had become irksome to him; but some person at the table took the last word from Olympia's lips and repeated it aloud. "Beautiful! You must be speaking of our new prima donna. In my opinion she is perfect; but you, Lord Hilton, have only seen her from the stage can form no idea of her loveliness, or of her voice either.
Here, after an interminable delay they were admitted to the presence of a complacent young coxcomb in spotless regimentals, who, so soon as he saw Olympia's face and bearing, threw off the listlessness of routine, and, rising deferentially, asked her pleasure. She told her story simply, and asked his advice as to the course to be followed.
