When people want to deceive, it's necessary to frame their falsehoods convincingly. If you had said Mersereau or Herncastle, I might have swallowed it." Azalea stared at him. "Why would you have thought those names were right?" she asked. "Because I should have felt sure you didn't invent them. But when you want to conceal a name, and you say Smith or Brown, it doesn't go!
She had let it go what could be more natural in a slight agitation? and but this seemed less natural in a gold-handled whip which had been left altogether to itself it had gone with some force over the immediate shrubs, and had lodged itself in the branches of an azalea half-way down the knoll.
"Oh, you do! you do!" exclaimed Patty, remorseful now at having teased him. "And now, Sweet William, what's your idea of a right and proper punishment for Cousin Azalea?" "That's a matter for some thought," he responded, mindful of Mona's words. "Look here, Patty, quite aside from Fleurette's connection with this case, what's your opinion of Zaly as a 'movie' star?"
"Not so confidential that I can't be in it too, is it?" and speaking lightly, Elise brushed past Patty and into the room. "Why, Azalea," she exclaimed, "what is the matter? You look like a tragedy queen!" For Azalea, annoyed at the intrusion, stood, hands clenched, and eyes scowling, and she said angrily, "I don't think people ought to come into other people's rooms, uninvited!
She was gazing towards the shadow cast by a patch of flowering azalea in the moonlight about ten yards from where they sat. Dacre raised himself with leisurely self-assurance and peered in the same direction. It was not his nature to be easily disturbed. But Stella's hand still clung to his arm, and there was agitation in her hold. "What is it?" she whispered. "What can it be?
At last she got out and a short walk brought her to her destination. This was nothing more nor less than a great moving-picture studio. There were a number of people about, all very busy and intent on what they were doing. Azalea seemed to be known, for two or three nodded pleasantly to her as she went swiftly along to the office. There she presented herself, and was received by Mr.
One or two of the tunes ran in Becky's brain like haunting undercurrents; but best of all, Becky knew the living room upon whose generous hearth the fire burned from early autumn until the bloom of dogwood, azalea, and laurel filled the space from which the ashes were reluctantly swept. Every rug and chair and couch was familiar to the burning eyes.
Another thing, Azalea is a poor speller, and she herself spells very with two r's. She did in a dinner acceptance she wrote and referred to me for approval. So, when I saw that word misspelled twice in the letter we're talking of, I knew she wrote it, I mean, it corroborated my belief. Now, Patty, we've a peculiar case to deal with, and we must feel our way. This telephoning business is serious.
These remarks were at long intervals and disconnected, but they were clearly heard by the three in the next room, and though no one mentioned it, each thought it a strange conversation for Azalea to take part in.
My own opinion of my sister's acting must be taken for what it is worth and that is very little. I remember how she looked on the stage like a frail white azalea and that her acting, unlike that of Adelaide Neilson, who was the great popular favorite before Kate came to the front, was scientific. She knew what she was about.
