We do, however, constantly apply to real-life crises expressions borrowed more or less directly from the terminology of the drama. We say, somewhat incorrectly, "Things have come to a climax," meaning thereby a culmination; or we say, "The catastrophe is at hand," or, again, "What a fortunate dénouement!"
So we met in my cabin the Princess, and the bo'sun, and a boy from the real-life lot, and a man from among the book-men, and a fellow from No-man's-land, and myself in the chair. The bo'sun had taken part in so many cuttings-out during his past career that practically he did all the talking, and was the Council of War himself. It was to be an affair of boats, he explained.
We all know now, but not a dozen people knew then; and the dozen kept the mystery to themselves and allowed the most intricate and fascinating and marvelous real-life romance that has ever been played upon the world's stage to unfold itself serenely, act by act, in a British court by the long and laborious processes of judicial development.

For such a fellow as he was would certainly see through all the disguises I could cover up a real-life story with, and then . He has learned the use of the lasso too well for me to want to trust my neck anywhere within a rod of him, if there were light enough for him to see, and nothing between us, and nobody near.

"Your friend Dick Holloway is taking me to some restaurant where singing and music may alter my refusal to him." "Your refusal?" and Shirley shot a quick glance at the girl. Her dimples appeared as she added: "Yes he wants me to star in a little play for the coming spring, but I have had such fun playing in real-life drama that I said him nay."
