When she is married they come and live with her. They know her dreadful secret and it keeps them in comfort for years. Knowing somebody's secret seems, on the stage, to be one of the most profitable and least exhausting professions going. WHEN SHE IS MARRIED THEY COME AND LIVE WITH THEM THEY KNOW HER DREADFUL SECRET AND IT KEEPS THEM IN COMFORT FOR YEARS KNOWING SOME ONE SECRET SEEMS ON THE STAGE TO BE ONE OF THE MOST PROFITABLE AND LEAST EXHAUSTING PROFESSIONS GOING
behind the cigarette on the stage lurks ever black-hearted villainy and abandoned womanhood. The adventuress is generally of foreign extraction. They do not make bad women in England--the article is entirely of continental manufacture and has to be imported. She speaks English with a charming little French accent, and she makes up for this by speaking French with a good sound English one. She seems a smart business woman, and she would probably get on very well if it were not for her friends and relations. Friends and relations are a trying class of people even in real life, as we all know, but the friends and relations of the stage adventuress are a particularly irritating lot. They never leave her; never does she get a day or an hour off from them. Wherever she goes, there the whole tribe goes with her. They all go with her in a body when she calls on her young man, and it is as much as she can do to persuade them to go into the next room even for five minutes, and give her a chance.
