There were nine altogether in the party registering. This number
included the manager, who, both on and off the stage, quite
successfully impersonated the villain-a rather heavy-jawed,
middle-aged fellow, of foreign appearance, with coarse, gruff
voice; three representatives of the gentler sex; a child of eight,
exact species unknown, wrapped up like a mummy; and four males.
Beyond doubt the most notable member of the troupe was the comedian
"star," Mr. T. Macready Lane, whose well-known cognomen must even
now awaken happy histrionic memories throughout the western
circuit. The long night's ride from their previous stand, involving
as it did two changes of trains, had proven exceedingly wearisome;
and the young woman in the rather natty blue toque, the collar of
her long gray coat turned up in partial concealment of her face,
was so utterly fatigued that she refused to wait for a belated
breakfast, and insisted upon being at once directed to her room.
There was a substantial bolt decorating the inside of the door,
but, rendered careless by sheer exhaustion of both mind and body,
she forgot everything except her desire for immediate rest, dropped
her wraps upon the only chair visible, and flung herself, fully
dressed, upon the bed. Her cheek had barely pressed the hard pillow
before she was sleeping like a tired child.
