A Song of Sixpence
(Continued from page 12)
then he does it under protest.” He turned
to Norton. “How’s the play going, Char
lie?”
“Oh, so-so. I’ve got the second act done.”
“But you had that done last winter.”
“Oh, well, I’ve written it over. But I
can’t seem to get the third, somehow.”
Chanler explained to Emmy. “Mr.
Norton is writing a play. ‘The Circle,’ it’s
called.” “Good name, don’t you think?”
interjected Norton, with a momentary
burst of interest, then relapsed into his
customary attitude of bantering cynicism.
“Guess that’s the reason I can’t finish it.
A circle has no end, you know, or beginning,
either, for that matter; that must be why
my first act never seems to start off right.
I just go round and round and round.” He
poured out a glass of the thin wine and
drank it off.
“It must be wonderful to write plays.”
Emmy looked at him in admiration.
“The wonderful part is getting them pro
duced—not writing them,” laughed Chan
ler. “Anybody can write a play—it takes
a genius to sell one. Eh, Charlie?”
Norton looked glum. “Wortheimer has
promised to produce ‘The Circle,’ ” he said,
“ w r hen it’s done.”
“Why shouldn’t he? He’d promise to
produce the Bible if you’d dramatize it,
which only means he’ll read it when it’s
finished, or let the office boy read it; that
doesn’t cost him anything.”
“No, that’s true. I suppose if I’d ask
him to put up any money—”
“He’d fall in a faint, of course. Wort
heimer only does rotten plays, anyway.
You haven’t a turkey trot or a grizzly bear
hug in your shoe, have you?”
“Not yet. I’m thinking about it, though.
I guess I’ll have the heroine do a Russian
skirt dance—without the skirt—something
like that ought to get the money, the way
New York’s going at present. Good Lord!
The things they hand out nowadays.” He
turned to Emmy. “You see, Miss Moran,
I’ve lived in New York all my life, and I’ve
I seen it change. Five years ago they’d go
right up in the air just at living pictures.
To-day—believe me, I’m no saint by a
thousand miles, but how they can get away
with some of the suggestive stuff they pull
on the public beats me. And young girls
go and eat it up—as if it were ice cream
soda. Of course, you don’t know what I
mean,” he said to Emmy, apologetically.
“You see, I forget you’re just from the
country, so to speak, but it’s in the air in
this burg. Don’t you think so, Grant?”
Chanler smiled. “It’s you newspaper
people w’ho are responsible for it, Charlie,”
he said. “You and your sensations. And
the modest girl who works for a living—the
competent actress who’s decent—you don’t
hear anybody making a fuss over her, do
you? Virtue seems to be a drug in the
market. Any woman can be virtuous. It
takes more than that to get the centre of
the stage nowadays.” He turned apolo
getically to Emmy. “You must pardon my
plain talk, Miss Moran, but the subject’s
one I’m thinking about a good deal just at
present. I’m trying to get some of it into a
novel I’m writing. And that reminds me—
Mr. Norton tells me that you're looking for
a position as a stenographer.”
“Yes. I—I can take dictation pretty well
—and I’d like to get a start. If you are willing
I to try me I’m sure I could give satisfaction.”
“ I’m sure of it.” Chanler bent a gravely
approving gaze upon her. “ I dictate rather
slowly, generally three or four hours in the
morning and sometimes in the afternoon as
well. The rest of the time you’d spend in
writing off your notes on the machine. I’ve
been using a public stenographer—she’s
very fast and accurate, but I have to pay
her by the hour, and I can’t always get her
when I want her, and sometimes when I can
I don’t feel like working, and, in the end, it
costs me more than it would to have some
one regularly all the time. I’d be willing
to pay twelve a week to the right woman.”
He paused, interrogatively.
Emmy could not repress an exclamation of
pleasure. She had not expected to get over
ten. “That would be quite satisfactory,”
she said simply. “ I can come at once, if vou
! wish.”
“To-morrow. I’ll give you my address.”
Ile took a card from his pocket, then paused.
1 “Why shouldn’t we all go ’round to my
place after dinner—then you will know just
how to get there. You can come, Charlie?”
he turned to Norton.
“Sure. How’s that Kentucky Bourbon
holding out?”
