She had never known Katie to vie with Zelda Fraser in saying those daring things. Katie, though so merry, had seemed a different type. But to-night Katie and Zelda and Major Darrett kept things very lively. Katie was telling her distinguished guest the tale of the champagne glasses.
She looked at Zelda Fraser Zelda with her bold black eyes, her red cheeks which she made still redder and her hair as long as people were "wearing" hair Zelda wore a little more than any one else. Nothing about her suggested anything so redeeming as a quest for Something Somewhere. No veiled splendor of a dream hovered tenderly over Zelda.
At the end of a few years Jane, now become a great artist, went with her benefactor to Paris. Their position toward each other was in no degree modified. He was very respectful in his manner, and always kept a certain distance between them. He did not wish her to know anything more about herself than that she was the daughter of the wretched Zelda.
"I can overtake her, though, Jack, if you say the word." "Do you think so?" asked Lieutenant Danvers, dubiously. "Don't try it, Hal," Jack advised, quietly. "Save all overheated pistons and other parts for the final test." The "Zelda" was now well ahead of the "Chelsea," which was putting out at cruising speed only.
If I understand the scene in the script at all it is intended to show the conflict between the two women over the one man seated between them. Jack Daring is to be swayed first by Stella Remsen, then by Zelda. At least this once I think the daughter of old Remsen and his ward are playing roles of equal importance."
"Some joy-ride, don't you think?" "I can fancy," laughed Katie, "that it might be hard to beat. I think," she added, "that he's just the one for you to marry. And I further think, Zelda, that you're just the one for him to marry." Zelda looked at her keenly. "No slam on either party?" "On the contrary, a sort of double-acting approval," she turned it with a laugh.
Zelda turned to Prescott. "You know her?" "Yes," he said. His voice told Katie how hard he was finding it just then to play the game. "Like her?" "Yes," he replied. Zelda threw back her head in an impertinent way of hers that was called engaging. "Love her?" He stepped nearer Katie, as if for protection. His smile was a dead smile. "Really, Zelda," said Katie, in laughing protest.
"Too bad we missed her," said Zelda, "especially if she would do us good. Now Cal here's going in for doing good, too. Only she's not trying to do it to the army. She's doing it to the working people." "Get the distinction," laughed the Major. "I must get hold of some stunt like that," said Zelda. "The world's getting stuntier and stuntier." She turned to Major Darrett.
Jack did glance up and ahead. He felt a sinking at heart, for the moment. For the "Zelda" was showing a burst of speed that was calculated to make any rival thoughtful. "Mr. Farnum," Jack called back, "will you pass the word for Hal to come on deck?" Young Hastings was up in a moment! "They're forcing that boat," muttered Hal, gazing after the "Zelda" uneasily.
Rhinds must be a self-made man, made very badly. I can't quite think that he has anything of the human face divine." Jack laughed, but bitterly. "The 'Zelda' is the boat we have to beat today," he added. "I wonder if you'll do it?" muttered Lieutenant Danvers, gazing suddenly over at the "Zelda," now well ahead and cutting a white path of foam. "Great guns, look at her go!"
