At the end of act two there was a scene where Sir Chester had to creep sombrely out into the night, and now he's gone and done it! Ah!" They had stumbled through a doorway and were out in a narrow passage, where the air, though tainted, was comparatively fresh. Jill drew a deep breath. Her companion turned to the stage-hand and felt in his pocket. "Here, Rollo!" A coin changed hands.
But first of all I'm going to lay out that dog. Come on along and see damn him! How was I to know? He was a new one. He never peeped in rehearsal. How was I to know he was going to yap when we arranged the set behind you?" "You've raised hell," the manager of the theatre greeted Davis, as the latter, trailed by Dick Bell, came upon Michael bristling from between the legs of the stage-hand.
"I can't git to go to school till the boys hev more larnin'. I hev to work here mornin's and help ma with the washin's in the arternoon. Mebby, arter a little, I kin git into some night-school." A stage-hand working near by overheard this conversation and displayed instant interest in the subject of Amarilly's schooling. "Couldn't you git off Saturday arternoons?" he asked.
But, as it turns out, her little excursion with you did as well." "I think she only needed rest. Perhaps her six weeks in the Adirondacks were better than Europe." "Ah, under your care that made them better!" Mrs. Ansell in turn hesitated, the lines of her face melting and changing as if a rapid stage-hand had shifted them.
Already a stage-hand was turning up the footlights and dragging chairs and tables hither and thither. "What will you take to stay and attend to those steam-pipes?" I demanded, desperately. "It can't be done nohow," observed the man in the silk hat. "That New York strike is good for a month yet."
In spite of what you say, it is my intention to keep to the tradition of the Durwents, and that is that the occupant of Roselawn' 'What! am not I his mother? cried the good woman, her hysteria having much the same effect on Lord Durwent's smoothly developing monologue as a heavy pail dropped by a stage-hand during Hamlet's soliloquy.
Well, Augustus, what's on your mind?" The simple question seemed to take the stage-hand aback. "Wot's on my mind? I'll tell you wot's on my blinking mind . . ." "Don't tell me. Let me guess. I've got it! The place is on fire!" The stage-hand expectorated disgustedly. Flippancy at such a moment offended his sensibilities. "We're 'opping it," he said. "Great minds think alike!
"It smells worse than it really is. And, anyway, this is the quickest way out." They passed through onto the stage, and found themselves in a world of noise and confusion compared with which the auditorium which they had left had been a peaceful place. Smoke was everywhere. A stage-hand, carrying a bucket, lurched past them, bellowing.
The stage-hand nodded curtly, then reached down and gently caressed Michael's bruised head. "Well," Davis gave in, turning on his heel, "they can make fools of themselves over dogs, them that wants to. But when they've been in the business as long as I have . . . " A post card from Davis to Collins explained the reasons for Michael's return.
It looked almost unreal, like a paper moon painted very badly by a clumsy stage-hand. The jungle-moon quite often has that peculiar purplish tint, most travellers know, but few of them indeed ever try to tell what causes it.
