ously and said to her friend,--
'My! I wisht I had legs like that _and_ silk stockings.'
So the day sped by, and in the evening they went down to the Imperium
where it reared its brilliantly lit magnificence. The performance had
begun. They read the placards outside the doors. Already there was a
new poster with a flashy drawing of Ariel, in its vulgar way not unlike
Clara. There were also posters reproducing the notices of the Ariel
and the Prospero.
'And Ariel is gone,' said Rodd.
'I left a note for him last night,' said Clara. 'He'll probably sue me
for breach of contract. He won't miss a chance of an advertisement.'
Rodd took her home, and they arranged that they would be married at
once. Neither was quite sure whether the absurd marriage with Charles
would make theirs illegal, but they decided to risk it.
