“Mother, mother, I am so happy!” whispered the girl, burying her face in the lap of the faded, tired-looking woman who, with her back turned to the shrill intrusive light, was sitting in the one armchair that their dingy sitting-room contained. “I am so happy!” she repeated, “and you must be happy too!”
Mrs.Vane winced , and put her thin bismuth-whitened hands on her daughter’s head. “happy!” she echoed. “I am only happy, Sybil, when I see you act. You must not think of anything but your acting. Mr.Isaacs has been good to us, and we owe him money.”
The girl looked up and pouted. “Money, mother?” she cried, “what does money matter? Love is more that money.”
“Mr. Isaacs has advanced us fifty pounds to pay off our debts, and to get a proper outfit for James. You must not forget that, Sybil. Fifty pounds is a very large sum. Mr.Issacs has been most considerate.”
“He is not a gentleman, mother, and I hate the way he talks to me,” said the girl, rising to her feet and going over to the window.
