Nor did it, for the infant was good and tractable, and did all that was required of her without any trouble.

However, little was required except for her to coo and gurgle in one scene, and to lie quietly asleep in another.
But there was one more short scene where Azalea had to rescue the baby from a burning house.

To be sure the flames were artificial and there was no danger from the fire, but the baby was thrown from an upper window, and caught by Azalea, who stood down on the ground.
So accustomed was Fleurette to being tossed about, and so familiar to her was the frolicking with Azalea that she made no objections and was a most delightful addition to the picture.
But something happened to the film, and the director was most anxious to take the scene over again.
Azalea, however, positively refused to take Fleurette again to the studio.

She knew how she would be censured, should it be found out, and now Nurse Winnie and the two Farnsworths, as well as Elise, were all watching for anything mysterious that Azalea might do.
She felt almost as if she were living over a slumbering volcano, that might at any moment blow her up.

For Elise, she felt sure, would not keep the sampler incident to herself, and if Farnsworth heard of it he would be newly angry at that deception.
So Azalea's delight at her success with the moving-picture company was very much tempered with dismay at her position in the Farnsworth household.
She was almost tempted to run away from them altogether and shift for herself.
Indeed, she practically decided, as she rode in the trolley-car, that if they were hard on her when she reached home, she _would_ run away.
