Prima Donna At Large
“Mario was loaded down with a collapsible chair, an ashtray, a thermos jug of coffee, one pillow, and three newspapers. Once he had the tenor settled comfortably, Mario rang the bell and told the startled maid that Signor Caruso was fully prepared to camp in the hallway indefinitely, until Miss Farrar saw fit to grant him entrance. He, Mario, would keep his employer supplied with all the necessities of life for as long as was necessary.
I kept him waiting an hour, while I bathed and had breakfas...t. Then, when I couldn’t put it off any longer, I let him in.
