And, for God's sake, do try and put a bit of gaiety into the part. Serpolette is a bit of a romp, you know. 'Try to put a bit of gaiety into the part, rang in Kate's ears unceasingly. It haunted her as she took in the waist of Leslie's dress, while she leaned over Montgomery's shoulder at the piano or listened to his conversation.
"Serpolette hasn't any voice, nor Germaine grace, nor is that music, nor is it art, nor is it anything!" he concluded with marked contempt. To set oneself up as a great critic there is nothing like appearing to be discontented with everything. Besides, the management had sent only two seats for the newspaper staff.
There was a scene in the first act in which Serpolette had to run screaming with laughter away from her cross old uncle, Gaspard, and dodge him, hiding behind the Baillie, and to do this effectively required a certain chic, a gaiety, which Kate did not seem able to summon up; and this was the weak place in her rendering of the part.
Makaraig and Pecson redoubled their attention, smiling in anticipation, while Isagani looked away, mortified to think that Paulita should be present at such a show and reflecting that it was his duty to challenge Juanito Pelaez the next day. But the young men waited in vain. Serpolette came on, a charming girl, in her cotton cap, provoking and challenging.
'Try to put a little gaiety into the part. Serpolette is a romp, you know. 'Yes, a romp; but what is a romp? Kate asked herself; and she strove to realize in detail that which she had accepted till now in outline. 'Ladies and gentlemen, said Mr.
So it was that Padre Irene, fulfilling at the same time his duties as a friend and a critic, had initiated the applause to encourage her, for Serpolette deserved it. Meanwhile, the young men were waiting for the cancan. Pecson became all eyes, but there was everything except cancan.
'What will you have, dear? asked Beaumont in an apologetic whisper. 'I think I'll have a whisky. 'You'll have the same, Dolly? 'Scotch or Irish? asked the barman. The girls consulted a moment and decided in favour of Irish. With nods and glances, the health of Serpolette was drunk, and then fearing to look as if she were sponging, Kate insisted on likewise standing treat.
Yes he did; I can show my certificate, and that's more than any one of you can. 'I know you, a damned lot of hussies! I know you; I was one of you myself. You think I wasn't. Well, I can prove it. You go and ask Montgomery if I didn't play Serpolette all through the country, and Clairette too.
'Kate could play Serpolette as it was never played before, exclaimed Montgomery, 'and I see no reason why she shouldn't understudy Leslie. 'But What's-her-name is understudying it. 'Why shouldn't there be two understudies? Dick could advance no reason, and once begun, the studies proceeded gaily. Apparently deeply interested, Dick lay back in the armchair smoking perpetual cigarettes.
'Oh lord! oh lord! how Ha! ha! oh! but I mustn't la-ugh; I won't be able to breathe. Kate turned to him almost angrily, and the ghost of the prima donna awakening in her, she said: 'I don't see what there is to laugh at. I've played all the leading parts, and in all the principal towns in England Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds. The Newcastle Chronicle said my Serpolette was the best they'd seen.
