He had once done Breede's personal work, but had been banished to the outer office after Bean's first try-out. Breede had found some mysterious objection to him. Perhaps it was because Bulger would always look up with pleased sagacity, as if he were helping to compose Breede's letters. It may have been simple envy in Breede for his advanced dressing.
Every eye was fixed on the actor, who stood with a small leather-covered edition of "As You Like It" in his hand. Miss Tebbs stood by with a pencil and pad. The great try-out was about to begin. "Will the young lady on the extreme right please come forward?" said Mr. Southard pleasantly, indicating Marian Barber, who rather timidly obeyed, taking the book he held out to her.
First of all Tom had arranged to have built all around inside the stockade a track of rails heavy enough to stand the wear and tear of the heaviest locomotive built. Meanwhile the various parts of his locomotive were being built in several shops, but would be shipped to the Swift Construction Company and assembled in Tom's try-out shed. Great secrecy was of course maintained.
Phi was off like a flash. A few minutes later the girls thought they heard him calling old Rover, who had been left in his care. "Wonder what he wants of him?" said Lucile. "I don't know," said Marian. "But I do know I'm powerful hungry. Let's go find something to eat." "I think we can go." Phi smiled as he spoke. His hour for a try-out had expired. He was back. "Can can we cross the Straits?"
"I think it's very unfair to Marian Seaton to hold another try-out!" she exclaimed. "She won her position on the team fairly enough. This whole affair is nothing but a plot to put Miss Stearns on the team and drop Miss Seaton from it. Miss Stearns has four friends on the sophomore team who have persuaded the freshman team to do what they themselves don't dare do.
Oh, I get so exasperated to see those Europeans who are nothing but big, spoiled children go right into a try-out and take a part away from me that I know I can render perfectly. But that's it, you see, they're perfectly undisciplined, but they can throw themselves into the part; and the director just takes my name and address and says he'll call me up if he needs me."
Then we'll open at the Blackstone in Chicago. I think this girl has got more real genius than any woman since since Bernhardt in her prime. Five years from now she won't be singing. She'll be acting. And it'll be acting." "Aren't you forcing things just a little?" asked Wallie, coolly. "Oh, no. No. Anyway, it's just a try-out. By the way, Wallie, I'll probably be gone almost a month.
Yet even at that he was a better man than Meacham, who had laid down like a yellow dog. Denver remembered that too and when he found his man he told him they were due to win. Then he borrowed some drills and a pair of eight-pound hammers and they went through a try-out together.
"They'll be startin' the first bout in a few minutes," he said. "Only a try-out. Then there's a four-round spar 'tween Dealer Wells an' Gridley, an' a ten-round go 'tween Starlight an' some sailor bloke. I don't come on for over an hour." At the end of another silent ten minutes, he rose to his feet. "Truth is, Lizzie, I ain't had proper trainin'." He reached for his hat and started for the door.
Her long training now stood her in good stead. Professor Harmon allowed her to go on with her song, instead of halting her in the middle of it, as he had in the case of the previous aspirants. When she had finished singing, she was greeted with a round of genuine applause, the first accorded to a singer since the beginning of the try-out.
