Find by looking at the name beneath, one Roxanne Milbank, who had been chorus girl and understudy in "The Daisy Chain," but who, by reason of an excellent performance when the star was indisposed, had gained a leading part. You would look again and wonder. Why you had never heard of her.
Guarantee to have her ready to understudy a star in three months and perhaps a star herself in six. She might jump into the heavens overnight. Stranger things have happened. What do you say? May I have an option on the young lady?" "That is rather too big a question to settle off hand at midnight. Tony is barely twenty-two and she has home obligations which will have to be considered.
I knew it! I told you last week to engage an understudy for the women's parts, and you haven't done it. I knew it, I knew it! God help me, I knew it!" "But I did, sir. I've got her here." Packer ran to the back of the stage, shouting loudly: "Miss-oh, Miss I forget-your-name! Understudy! Miss " "I'm here!"
You mean the understudy, the one that's to play Miss Lyston's part, that Miss Miss " He snapped a finger and thumb to spur memory and then, as in triumphant solution of his puzzle, cried, "Ma Malone! Miss Malone!" "Yes," said Potter, looking upon him darkly. "Where did you sort of run across her, come to think of it, as a matter of fact?" "Oh, I remember all about it, now," said Packer brightly.
Heads, Monny's; tails, Anthony's; but the penny rolled away, far under the bed where collar-buttons go, and so I opened Biddy's. She began: MY DEAR GOOD DUFFER! For any sake hurry back. Make an excuse to leave your pilgrims the minute you get this, and take the first train to Cairo. Surely the late conductor can be your understudy, and trot the people round Alexandria for a day?
I went back into the dark office and waited, and by and by I 'eard them coming along to the gate and patting 'im on the back and saying he ought to be in a pantermime instead o' wasting 'is time night-watching. He left 'em at the gate, and then 'e came into the office smiling as if he'd done something clever. "Wot d'ye think of me for a understudy?" he ses, laughing. "They all thought it was you.

A doctor is awarded his diploma; a lawyer is admitted to the bar; a preacher is given a pulpit; an actor rises from understudy to the leading role; a newspaper reporter is given a "by-line" and sees his name over a story for the first time. Under the big head-line.
Miss Delamar's understudy observed him closely for a moment, but he made no sign, and so she turned her eyes again to the fire with a slightly troubled look. She had not a strong sense of humor, but she was very beautiful.
"I have one in the making. Dawson wanted to come along and try his hand." "Did Gridley send him?" "No; Gridley is away somewhere." "So Fred's your understudy, is he? Well, I've got one, too. I'll show him to you after a while." They were walking back over the ties toward the half-buried 195. The ten-wheeler was on its side in the ditch, nuzzling the opposite bank of a low cutting.
