asked his help in lifting heavy vessel of
water just drawn from the well. On the

Greets, in spite of all his worldly wisdom
and sophistication was unable to resist her.
Il will, then" he assented at last, and
the next morning at 10 o'clock Clothilde
went to his studio.
In secret. day after day for months and
months, Clothilde met Greets in his studio.
The ambition she had nurtured was being
realized--theoretically at any rate. She
was learning the dramatic art. She was
learning to act. Paul Greets taught her
diction and expression and naturalness.
She was an apt pupil. Greets saw that
she owned the potentiality of greatness.
But there was storm impending. The
grizzled Admiral was yet to be heard from.
Ciothiide was insistent upon trying her
newly cultivated art upon the public, while
Greets was deeply intent upon driving her
safely into state of mind which would
preclude the possibility of the wrath of an
angry Admiral descending upon his head. He
attempted to dissuade Clothilde. she would
not be dissuaded. He told her she was
poor. that she had little or no talent; Clo-
thilde knew better-she knew she could
act. After all his efforts to destroy her
aspiration had failed, Greets had to con-
tent himself with putting her off.
