SELF-ASSURANCE but I don't want you to get all excited . . ." (I guess he wouldn't have put it past me, after that entrance, to swing from the chandelier if I got excited over what he was going to tell me.) "Now, I don't know that anything will come of it. It all depends on whether Drina de Wolfe accepts this role, or not—and she hasn't agreed to yet. . . . But, hold on, now—we have every hope she will . . . but if she doesn't, I'm going to recommend to Mr. Frohman that he give you a try at it." He cut off my slightly incoherent thanks and said, "Now you go on home—but don't keep call- ing me up, because I will phone you on Tuesday and let you know. Mr. Frohman will be back from London on Monday" (I already knew that) "and by Tuesday we will have the answer." I walked out of there on air, and for four days and nights I worried until I could hardly eat or sleep. I'm afraid nothing that could have happened to poor Drina de Wolfe, short of permanent injury or sudden demise, would have left me quite deso- late. And then, the blow fell. Mr. Seymour broke it to me gently. But in spite of the fact that he said he wouldn't forget me and that there would be something else, all that really mattered was that she had accepted the role after all, and I was not going to get it. 91
