Jack sent her a gold purse with a bracelet chain, Jay sent a sterling silver compact with a diamond star. She tiptoed into TifTany's to price them. Three hundred dollars. A hundred and fifty. The prices gave her a shiver of pleasure. She'd sold every trinket she'd ever had to run away from the convent. Now she was a star on Broadway. It never occurred to her that Irene Castle would come back. It was her show and after the show, her Sans Souci. Afternoons, she'd meet Marilyn Miller and Olive Thomas, some of the crowd from The Passing Show, under the clock at the Biltmore. Sometimes Ann Pennington joined them, and Marion Davies. There were always dancing parties late in the afternoon; Jack deSaulles lumbered after her like a bear. He was persistent and insistent but he didn't frighten her. He was no dancer and he was married. The one who frightened her was Jay. 16
