I shall keep you a long while yet." She leaned over and kissed him gently on the cheek. "Now I must go," she said, "if I'm to get any dinner before the theatre. I would have liked to stay, and put my poor little understudy on, so as to give her a chance. She's a nice little girl not half stupid, and really keen to learn and to work. But I can't. I'm in honour bound to appear to-night.
Miss Clay nodded, well pleased. "Of course you did. Why not? It is your kind of a role, just as Rose is. You and I are the same types. Mr. Hempel has said that all along, ever since he saw your Rosalind. But I won't keep you in suspense. The long and short of all this preliminary is how would you like to be my understudy for Madge?" "Oh, Miss Clay!" Tony gasped. "Do you think I could?"
At the lifting of his finger there was a growling of gears and a backward racing of machinery, a groan of relaxing strains, and a cry of "All gone!" and the 195 stood upright, ready to be hauled out when the temporary track should be extended to a connection with the main line. "Let's go up to the other end and see how your understudy is making it, Mac," said the gratified superintendent.
"Excellency," he admitted, "I have definite information of his plans which I did not seek." "And the source?" "Miss Westfall's servant." "Ah!" "There are certain atmospheric conditions," regretted Philip, "intensely bad for hay-camps, wherefore I found myself obliged to seek an occasional understudy who would not only blaze the trail for me but do faithful sentry duty in my absence.
Perhaps, when the secrets of all hearts are revealed, it will come out that the Miller's Daughter took the opportunity to meet Narcissus' understudy, who can tell? But the wonderful fresh morning-scented air was a delicious fact beyond dispute. That was sincere. Ah, there used to be real mornings then! not merely interrupted nights. And it was the Easter-morning of romance.
There's only three hundred men aboard The Blessed Isle, so all I have to do, regular, is to understudy the cooks, carry the grub, wait on table, wash the dishes, mop the floors, make the officers' beds, peel six bushels of potatoes a day, and do the laundry. Then, of course, there's some odd tasks. Oh, it was a swell job more like a pastime.
"Talbot Potter leaves the stage because a little 'ingenue' understudy tries to break the rules of his company! Likely, isn't it?" "Looks so," said old Tinker. "Does it?" retorted Potter with rising fury. "Then I'll tell you, since you seem not to know it, that I'm not going to leave the stage!
Arrived home at the Hostelry, armed with this approval, Tony found her Uncle's answering wire bidding her do as she thought best and sending heartiest love and congratulations. Dear Uncle Phil! And then she sat down and signed the impressive document that made her Carol Clay's understudy and a real wage-earning person. All the afternoon she spent in long, delicious, dreamless slumber.
Yes, I must have made Miss Delamar's understudy misrepresent her. I beg your pardon, my dear," he said aloud to the Picture. "You did not go shopping this morning. You probably went to a woman's luncheon somewhere. Tell me about that." "Oh, yes, I went to lunch with the Antwerps," said the Picture, "and they had that Russian woman there who is getting up subscriptions for the Siberian prisoners.
The sacred creed of each is that the immensity of Germany is such that there can be no room on the earth for another than itself. Blood and iron will clear the world of the inferior peoples. To the masses that is their God's will. Their God is an understudy of their Kaiser." "You are not saying that as part of the trick of making a jest of things?" "I wish to God I were.
