But let's not argue now, Palit. Here, I think, comes the lion-hunter. Let's scream, and be as properly excited as every one else is." Now, lay off, and try to be reasonably sober, for a change."

The remarks about his knowledge of wild and ferocious beasts don't agree with you. I remember once, when we were on the trail of a rogue elephant—" He told the story of the rogue role to his guide. Then another story illustrating the strange ways of lions. The elephant gun figured in still another tale, this time of a vicious rhinoceros.

Not a George, are studying how to act. They act people and animals. Who knows? Some day they, too, may be in the movies, just as you are, Mr. George.

Really I can't, Miss Burton—" "Come, come, mustn't be shy. Your friend says that you act go on the stage and still be shy. Now, do you know any movie scenes?
