His body twitched spasmodically.
"Oh, Mr.Jones!" he exclaimed; "that's impossible; it wouldn't do at all! We've been rehearsing this play and preparing for its production for the last two weeks, and to-day all our actors and assistants are here and ready to make the picture.

I've already postponed it four hours--until this afternoon--to favor Miss Stanton, but, really--" "Never mind the details," interrupted the boy.

"I do not consider Miss Stanton able to do her work to-day.

Send her back to her hotel at once and order the play postponed until she is able to attend." Goldstein was greatly disturbed by this order, issued quietly but in a tone of command that brooked no opposition.
