"I never permit ANYTHING to interfere with my writing,"
says author Helen Traubel.
"SYNOPSIS: Soprano BRIN
' HILDE WAGNLK, the great Met
.tar, relaxes over a new mystery
.story between appearances in
"Die Walkure." With her in the
-wings are her husband, BILL
"WAG NEE, and her friend LILY
'FURST, separated from orchestra
pleader OTTO FURST. Brunhilde
.does not like Otto. On stage,
-Brunhilde in midson; recognizes
In the front row the faces of all
-her favorite mystery story writ
ers. She and Bill had long plan
"ned to invite the detective-story
I writers to hear their most loyal
-fan sing and then to meet them.
-Brunhilde is happily excited at
-the prospect.)
Chapter 2
The curtain fell on a thunderous
Ovation. There were eleven curtain!
calls. Ushers poured down the
aisles carrying flowers and baskets
filled with the latest mystery nov
els presented by her admirers. But
Brunhilde was scarcely aware of
the plaudits. The ovation found
her Impervious and abstracted. Her
acknowledgments to the audience
were purely mechanical.
Something else occupied her mind.
Tonight was the night when cer
tain long prepared plans were
about to be realized.
In the wings, Lily Furst kissed
her impulsively. "You were never
better, darling. Listen to that ap
plause.' Brunhilde, overflowing with emo
tion, spared her a brief smile, and
grasped her husband's hand.
"Bill, you angel," she said breath
lessly. TrYox did it. You actually
Invited all those wonderful au
thors.'' "Sure, Bruny, It was what you
wanted, wasn't it?"
"Oh, yes I When will I meet
tfaem?"
"They're coming up to the apart
ment for cocktails and a bite."
"Can I come, too?" asked Lily.
"I don't know. Lily." Bill was
dubious. "That's up to you. Otto
will be there."
"Ottol" Both women made dis
tasteful faces.
"Did you have to Invite him?"
Uly wanted to know.
Bill shrugged, "Well, Lily,
there's no reason why you can't
be civilized about it."
"But after all. Bill. The divorce
trial was last week. I only got my
decree yesterday." Lily relented
find sighed. "I guess I can tolerate
him for another evening."
Brunhllde's protest was more ve
hement. "You shouldn't have In
vited him. Bill. You know we don't
like eacn otner. You know now we
fought and disagreed all during re
hearsals." "That's precisely why I did in
vite him, Bruny. Tills constant
wrangling has got to stop. It's per
fectly senseless. We can't have fric
tion between a singer and her con
ductor. Now be a good girl and try
to make up."
Brunhilde sulked. "I don't like
the man. He's arrogant and sar
castic." "Okay. Don't like him. But try
to be friendly with him. For the
sake of your art."
Brunhilde smiled. After nil, this
was no time to remain bitter. The
smile became a chuckle, and the
chuckle grew into a laugh. It v.i;s n
magnificant tiling. Mint laugh, cc.n
tagious and convulsing, thrill. np
everyone within earshot into ptir
Dxyms of merriment.
"All right." she conceded, "M
him come. No one can spoil this
evening for me. Where are our
autnors?"
'"They're meeting us at the apart
ment." Two hours and ten pounds of
sauerbraten later, Brunhilde Wag
ner and her famous guests sat
back to relax. The authors were
assembled around the table, all
talking shop. In the corner, a small
canary in a large cage kept ex-,
niDiting musical taienia. it s wnisu
ling was incessant. At the singer's
feet, unimpressed, sat a French
noodle, wearing a necklace of pearls
end diamonds. The conversation was
animated and Bill and Lily did the
honors at the bar.
The conversation mostly, how
ever, was dominated by Brunhilde.
She had strong opinions and no in
tention oi outtomng tnem up. xne
opportunity to express herself about
their characters to the authors who
had created them was a rare one.
She leaned forward, earnestly ad
dressing Mr. Rex Stout.
"One of mv great favorites." she
said, "is Archie Goodwin. He's
breezy and bright, and he has such
wonderiui way witn the ladles.
But that fat boss of his" she made
helpless gesture, "How can I
keep my diet when he describes
such wonderful food? And when
I surrender and try to buy those
ingredients and spices ne talks
about, no one has them. I wish
Nero Wolfe would Invite me to
dinner some time."
Mr. Rex Stout sat and beamed.
Brunhilde looked at John Dickson
Can. There was that In her manner
which you may see in the face
of a Mohammedan who turns east
at the muezzin call, worshipful rev
erence. "I have read every one of your
locked room mysteries, Mr. Carr,
and never, not once, have I solved
the nuzzle before Henry Merrlvale
or Dr. Fell. 1 confess, sometimes I
tear out the last chapter to keep
me from peeking."
jonn jJicKson uarr stood up and
bowed.
She went on. There was no need
to wind her up. Tonight Brunhilde's
turntable was running on an elec
tric motor with an inexhaustible
supply of power. Her eyes, going
c ioc k wise arouna tne mole, glowed
with pleasure.
"If tnere were only more law
yers like Perry Mason," she said,
"why, I almost think I'd enjoy
being sued. I would rather hear
him defend a client in court than
sing before all the crowned heads
01 Europe.'
Erie Stanley Gardner sat bask
ing in her delight.
In the corner the little canary
kept showing off, whistling encores
oi ns own composition.
Brunhilde continued the circuit.
"Lieutenant Trent," sh e said,
sounding awed. "There is a man!
What coolnessl What self-control
with the Indies! Whnt wit! What
imagination! Mr. Patrick. I am
overwhelmed. But" she waggled
an admonitory finger "you mustn't
matte your puonc wait so long be
tween books. But then we have you
writing as Patrick Quentin, too. so
no complaints."
Mr. Patrick sucked on his pipe
and nodded.
(Is nrunhilde just being Irm
permnnetal In her dislike of Otto
Furst? Is there more Hum meets
(he eye to her analysis of the
works or her favorite tlr t ret We
st ry writers? Helen Trnubel,
who knows the heart and soul
of a great soprano if anyone docs,
continues her chilling tale tomor
row.) (To Be Continued!
