CHAPTER XIII
MR. DEVERE'S SUCCESS
Amid laughter, now that it was seen that nothing serious had
happened, the wreckage was cleared away, and the German actor, and
his partner in the rural love scene, were assisted to their feet.
"Are you hurt?" asked Mr. Pertell, anxiously, when quiet had in a

"Only my feelings iss hurted!" replied Mr. Switzer, with an odd look
on his round, fat face. "It iss not seemly und proper dot ven a
feller is telling a nice girl vot he dinks of her, dot he should be
upset head ofer heels alretty yet; ain't it?"
"It certainly is," agreed Miss Dixon, a little spasm of pain flitting
across her face as she limped to one side.
"Oh, dear, I hope you're not hurt!" exclaimed Miss Pennington,
hastening to her friend's side, and supporting her with an arm about
her waist.
"It's only my ankle; it's a bit sprained, I think. A good thing I
haven't a dancing part," said Miss Dixon.
"Will you be able to go on, when we make the film over again?" asked
the manager anxiously.
