Demos

CHAPTER XII
29/52

A lady of French extraction who made a name for herself at a leading metropolitan theatre last winter, and who really promises great things in the Thespian art, is back among us from a sojourn on the Continent.

She is understood to have spent much labour in the study of a new part, which she is about to introduce to us of the modern Babylon.

But Albion, it is whispered, possesses other attractions for her besides appreciative audiences.

In brief, though she will of course appear under the old name, she will in reality have changed it for one of another nationality before presenting herself in the radiance of the footlights.

The happy man is Mr.Hubert Eldon, late of Wanley Manor.
