"You know that Gabriel Chestermarke went to the stage-door of the Adalbert Theatre the other night. Go there officially and find out if he called there as Gabriel Chestermarke. That'll solve a lot." "We'll both go!" assented Starmidge. "It's a good notion I hadn't thought of it. Whom shall we try to see?" "Top man of all," counselled Easleby. "Lessee, manager, whatever he is.
"There's no doubt that Gandam traced your Gabriel Chestermarke to the stage-door of the Adalbert Theatre and lost him there. But, you know, for anything you know, Mr. Gabriel Chestermarke, banker, of Scarnham, may have had legitimate and proper business at that theatre.

And then go back to the baby." She wasted no more words on the woman, but swept forth from the room and down the draughty ill-lit passage to the stage-door. Its guardian, staggered at her appearance, let her out; on the pavement outside, muffled to the eyes like a man that evades observation, was the big young Jew.

Ban, you never hung about stage-doors, did you? I think it would be good for you; tame your proud spirit and all that. Why don't you write one of your 'Eban' sketches on John H. Stage-Door?" "I'll do better than that. Give me of your wisdom on the subject and I'll write an interview with you for Tittle-Tattle." "Do! And make me awfully clever, please.
