Miss Bretherton

CHAPTER V
11/67

She was enthusiastic.

She walked up and down the room after I'd done reading, repeating some of the passages, going through some of the situations, and wound up by saying, "Give it me, Mr.Wallace!

Her popularity just now is something extraordinary, and I see no signs of its lessening.

Any piece she plays in is bound to be a success, and I suppose I should make a good deal of money out of it; but then, you see, I don't want the money, and--' 'Yes, yes, I see,' said Kendal, thoughtfully; 'you don't want the money, and you feel that she will ruin the play.

She couldn't play the part of Elvira--you remember the plot ?--even decently.

It's an extremely difficult part.
