“That’s different, but I don’t get discouraged very easily, especially when the work is so interesting.”
“Say, Frank!”
“What is it?”
“You’ve got it!”

“Stage fever. When they can stand all the hard knocks and still find the work interesting and fascinating, they’ve got it. You’re liable to stick to the stage the rest of your life. Well, if you do, I hope I’ll live to see you away up in the pictures, but I’m afraid I won’t be that lucky.”
“Now, Cassie, I don’t like to hear you talk like that.”
“Well, it’s true, Frank. You know my trouble, and I guess it’ll throw me down for keeps. I can’t shake the habit.”
“Thought you were going to make a try at it this coming summer?”
“Am. Don’t believe it’s any use. If I fail, I’m going to tell Havener the whole business, and we’ll cry quits. That’ll be rough on me, for you know how much I think of Ross; but I’ll never tie to him as I am.”
