CHAPTER IX.
The earl and Washington started on the sorrowful errand, talking as they
walked.
"
"
"
And as usual!"
What, Colonel?"
Seven of them in that hotel. Actresses. And all burnt out, of
course."
"Any of them burnt up?"
"
Oh, no they escaped; they always do; but there's never a one of them
that knows enough to fetch out her jewelry with her."
"
"
That's strange."
Strange--it's the most unaccountable thing in the world. Experience
teaches them nothing; they can't seem to learn anything except out of a
book. In some uses there's manifestly a fatality about it. For
instance, take What's-her-name, that plays those sensational thunder and
lightning parts. She's got a perfectly immense reputation--draws like a
dog-fight--and it all came from getting burnt out in hotels."
