With infinite difficulty in the matter of pronunciation the man informed her that the party consisted of Monsieur Logotheti, Herr Schreiermeyer, Signor Stromboli, the Signorina Baci-Roventi, and Fraeulein Ottilie Braun.
'Da capo, he said, and the bows began to scrape and quiver again. The tenor only hummed his part now, picking bits of straw out of the plaster tail and examining them with evident interest. 'Is Miss Donne here? Logotheti inquired of Schreiermeyer. The impresario nodded indifferently, without looking round. 'I wish you had chosen Rigoletto for her début, said the Greek.
The Minister and the pianist walked one on each side of Schreiermeyer, and were talking excitedly, but the manager looked at neither of them and never turned his head. They went down the Avenue Hoche away from Lushington, who walked very slowly and looked at his watch twice before he reached Madame Bonanni's door.
'You seem to think it is too little, observed Madame Bonanni. 'Little? cried Margaret. 'It's a fortune! 'You may talk of a fortune when you get three hundred pounds a night, said Lushington. 'But it is a good beginning. I wonder that Schreiermeyer agreed to it so easily. 'Easily! Madame Bonanni laughed. 'I wish you had been there, my dear boy!
'Perhaps, suggested Fraeulein Ottilie timidly, 'if you exercised a little strength of character 'Exercise? roared Stromboli, not understanding her, for they spoke a jargon of Italian, German, and English. 'Exercise? The more I exercise, the more I eat! Ha, ha, ha! Exercise, indeed! You talk like crazy! 'You will end on wheels, said Schreiermeyer with cold contempt.
'Here comes Cordova, observed Schreiermeyer in a low tone. Margaret appeared, wearing an extremely becoming hat, and poked her head round the white horse's tail, which represented the door of her cottage as to position.
But in the meantime Cordova had reached her dressing-room, supported by the enthusiastic Schreiermeyer on one side, and by the equally enthusiastic tenor on the other, while the singular family party assembled in the last act of Lucia di Lammermoor brought up the rear with many expressions of admiration and sympathy.
The clerks from the box-office and several other persons employed about the house were whispering together in the little lobby. They made way for Cordova and looked with curiosity at Griggs, who was a well-known man of letters. Schreiermeyer stood at the half-closed inner door, evidently waiting. 'Come in, he said to Margaret. 'The doctor is there.
I shall be rude to you when I am in a rage, and tell you the truth, and you shall call me many bad names. Then we shall be perfectly good friends. You will say, "Bah! it is only old Schreiermeyer!" and I shall say, "Pshaw! Cordova may call me a brute, but she is the greatest soprano in the world, what does it matter?" Do you see? We are going to be good friends!
'He is a lunatic, said Schreiermeyer gravely. 'All tenors are lunatics except about money, he added thoughtfully. 'I think Stromboli is very sensible, said Margaret, turning to Griggs.
