The unexpected sob frightened him more than any fusilade of hot words, and he stole away in the darkness more crestfallen than he had been for many a year. Mrs. Winship, more troubled than ever, pulled apart the canvas curtains, and stood in the opening, silently.
Oh, the manager's an important person in his way; he has theatres in every part of the country and is a busy man. But he was willing enough to see me when his stupid people had let him know that I was the Miss Winship! Sorry as was my heart, I felt a thrill of triumph at this new proof of my fame and the power beauty gives.
This is the beginning of the stuff: So fair that, had you Beauty's picture took, It must like her or not like Beauty look. A Western Wild Rose! As sweet! As perfect! By all who have seen her, Helen Winship is pronounced the most beautiful of women. Last Monday night, at the Opera House, a great audience paid her such spontaneous tribute as never before was offered human being.
She would come back from the beautiful home of her friend, Bell Winship, and look about on her own surroundings, never with scorn, or sense of bitterness, she was too sensible and sweet-natured for that, but with an inward rebellion against the existing state of things, and a secret determination to create a better one, if God would only give her power and opportunity.
As he was a very personable young man strangers, especially at chapel, took particular notice of him, and were continually inquiring of his adventures; but Winship not only constantly refused to give them any satisfaction, but declared also to the Ordinary that he did not think himself obliged to make any discoveries which might affect the lives of others, showing also an extraordinary uneasiness whenever such questions were put to him.
