Ruth and Alice felt a little
diffident about going to the studio again, especially after the scene
with the jealous actresses.
But Miss Dixon and Miss Pennington appeared to have gotten over their
pique, and they acted as though they had never said anything to wound
or annoy Ruth and Alice. The latter, however, could not forget it,
and were rather cool toward their fellow-players.
"Here are your new parts," said Mr. Pertell. "Look them over with
your father as soon as you can. He is to be in the play with you."
"Oh, isn't this exciting!" cried Alice, as she took the typewritten
manuscript. "Real parts at last, Ruth!"
"Yes. We will be real actresses if we keep on. I wonder what I am
cast for?"
"My! We're becoming quite adept in theatrical talk. Ahem!" laughed
Alice with pretended sarcasm.
Miss Pennington and Miss Dixon, who were already rehearsing for
another play, looked over at the two enthusiastic sisters, and
shrugged their shoulders.
"Wait until they have been in it as long as we have, my dear, then
they won't be so jolly," remarked Miss Pennington.
