“
And
you
want
me
to
get
some
woman
to
take
a
part
?
”
questioned
Drouet
,
anxious
to
terminate
the
subject
and
get
on
to
something
else
.
“
What
are
you
going
to
play
?
”
“
‘
Under
the
Gaslight
,
’
”
said
Mr
.
Quincel
,
mentioning
Augustin
Daly
’
s
famous
production
,
which
had
worn
from
a
great
public
success
down
to
an
amateur
theatrical
favourite
,
with
many
of
the
troublesome
accessories
cut
out
and
the
dramatis
personæ
reduced
to
the
smallest
possible
number
.
Drouet
had
seen
this
play
some
time
in
the
past
.
“
That
’
s
it
,
”
he
said
;
“
that
’
s
a
fine
play
.
It
will
go
all
right
.
You
ought
to
make
a
lot
of
money
out
of
that
.
”
“
We
think
we
’
ll
do
very
well
,
”
Mr
.
Quincel
replied
.
“
Don
’
t
you
forget
now
,
”
he
concluded
,
Drouet
showing
signs
of
restlessness
;
“
some
young
woman
to
take
the
part
of
Laura
.
”
“
Sure
,
I
’
ll
attend
to
it
.
”
He
moved
away
,
forgetting
almost
all
about
it
the
moment
Mr
.
Quincel
had
ceased
talking
.
He
had
not
even
thought
to
ask
the
time
or
place
.
Drouet
was
reminded
of
his
promise
a
day
or
two
later
by
the
receipt
of
a
letter
announcing
that
the
first
rehearsal
was
set
for
the
following
Friday
evening
,
and
urging
him
to
kindly
forward
the
young
lady
’
s
address
at
once
,
in
order
that
the
part
might
be
delivered
to
her
.
“
Now
,
who
the
deuce
do
I
know
?
”
asked
the
drummer
reflectively
,
scratching
his
rosy
ear
.
“
I
don
’
t
know
any
one
that
knows
anything
about
amateur
theatricals
.
”
He
went
over
in
memory
the
names
of
a
number
of
women
he
knew
,
and
finally
fixed
on
one
,
largely
because
of
the
convenient
location
of
her
home
on
the
West
Side
,
and
promised
himself
that
as
he
came
out
that
evening
he
would
see
her
.
When
,
however
,
he
started
west
on
the
car
he
forgot
,
and
was
only
reminded
of
his
delinquency
by
an
item
in
the
“
Evening
News
”
—
a
small
three
-
line
affair
under
the
head
of
Secret
Society
Notes
—
which
stated
the
Custer
Lodge
of
the
Order
of
Elks
would
give
a
theatrical
performance
in
Avery
Hall
on
the
16th
,
when
“
Under
the
Gaslight
”
would
be
produced
.
