May God still grant me the blessing He has hitherto so graciously accorded me; that I may have the power to make the dear one happy; and, as a brave artist, bring honour and advantage to my Fatherland! Amen!" As for Caroline, who had been so volatile a soubrette and so happy in the footlight glitter, she turned out to be even a greater success as a Haus-frau.
We shall have to substitute a duenna, or a chaperon, for the soubrette in our pieces for the present; it will be less pleasing of course, but still Mme. Leonarde here is a host in herself, and we shall manage to get on very nicely, I dare say." The chariot started on its way again as he spoke, at rather a better pace than the lumbering old ox-cart.
When he caught his eye he made a little gesture of recognition and approval to show that he understood and appreciated his position but paid no further attention to him, evidently meaning to respect his incognito, and devoted himself to the soubrette.
Sebaldus corroborated this reckoning by also striking three and in much deeper tones. They came to an old house, and after floundering through a long, dark, ill-smelling passage way, entered a room in the basement. Anna Siebert lighted a lamp that had a red chimney. Gaudy garments of the soubrette hung on the wall. A big, grey cat lay on the table cover and purred.
The pause was marked, intentional, before there came toward the footlights, in their most relentless glare, a girl with gladness and joy in her very walk. Neither a heavy German peasant girl nor a French soubrette. No dreary, timid, mädchen, but a glad young soul conscious of nothing save joy, with the beauty in her face of youth and power as she looked at the gay throng of the fair.
"Never; she does not see visitors." "We might go visit her home," mused Soubrette, after a pause. "Yes, if she is away," said Anglaise. "She's away now," said Soubrette; "she went to Rouen yesterday." "Well, when shall we go?" "Tomorrow."
When it was over I went up to my room where I was waited on by the pretty maid, who performed her duties with that grace peculiar to the French soubrette, and told me that as I had become her mistress's chambermaid it was only right that she should be my valet.
The SOUBRETTE said, 'For your master. I have no other master but you; so a pretty little lass, my faith, is that SOUBRETTE!" D'Artagnan opened the letter, and read these words: "A person who takes more interest in you than she is willing to confess wishes to know on what day it will suit you to walk in the forest?
A grin of satisfaction spread over the bullet-headed old ruffian's face, and his round gray pig eyes twinkled, as he noted the already established entente cordiale between Jack Blunt's pal and the wanton spy who was the absent Jack's own especial pet. But, Alan Hawke was temporarily blind to the universally offered charms of the soubrette as he read Joseph Smith's careful report.
Ofttimes while galloping from his Apartment to the Galleys or chasing homeward to grab off a few wasteful hours of Slumber, he would see People of the Lower Classes going out to the Parks with Picnic Baskets, or lined up at the Vaudeville Palaces, or watching a hard-faced Soubrette demonstrate something in a Show Window.
