After two years of this, Miss D'Armande remembered, Miss Ray suddenly left the theatre and went to live in the country.
And seventeen minutes after Miss D'Armande said, 'I'd like to know where Lee is now', somebody knocked on the door.
I was, of course, Rosalie Ray.
'Come in,' Miss D'Armande called, and Miss Ray came in. Yes, it was Rosalie. She took off her hat, and Miss D'Armande could see that she looked very tired and unhappy.
'I've got the room above you,' Rosalie said. 'They told me at the desk downstairs that you were here.'
'I've been here since the end of April,' Lynnette replied. 'I begin to work again next week, out in a small town. But you left the theatre three months ago, Lee. Why are you here?'
'I'll tell you, Lynn, but give me a drink first.' Miss D'Armande passed a bottle to her friend.
