Excerpt from The Barn Stormers: Being the Tragical Side of a Comedy She had never yet possessed a really low-necked dress. In the French convent, where she had spent half her life, she had even been obliged to take her daily bath in a robe ample as charity, lest her guardian angel, a spirit of the masculine gender, supposed never to leave his post, should be offended by her nakedness. But she was going to be an actress now, and could only hope that her tutelary genius might be ready to accommodate himself to circumstances. Not that I would wear a hat with it, she reassured herself, with pride of nationality. I would show them that, though it may be all well enough before audiences in the States, it would never be considered good form at home. I daresay they would soon begin copying the English ways. They meant the members of the Scott Ambler Comedy Company, for already Monica had more than half resolved to answer the advertisement.
