The soloist chanced to be a German woman, by no means in her first youth, and the mother of many children; but she wore an elaborate gown and a tiara, and above all she had that indefinable air of achievement, that world-shine upon her, which, in Paul's eyes, made her a veritable queen of Romance.
"The organist told me," announced Bud at supper, "that he was agoin' to train my voice, and I could be soloist at Grace Church and git five dollars a Sunday, and after a while I could git ten." "You'll be a millynaire," prophesied Bobby in awed tones. "Guess we'll be on Easy Street now," shouted Cory. "We won't be nuthin' of the kind," snapped Amarilly.
