The Baroness Orczy tells an amusing story. On visiting the theatre one day in connection with the rehearsals of her first play “ The Scarlet Pimpernel,” she found a new call-boy there, who had not quite succeeded in identifying the different personages. Going up to the Baroness he said to her : “ Excuse me, miss, but are you one of the company?”, fl No,” she replied with a smile — “ not exactly ; I am only the authoress.” “Oh, is that all ?” remarked the boy, as he turned away in obvious contempt.
