Billy knocked angrily . Miss Tyrrell opened the door , looked annoyed when she saw him , and introduced him to the tenor of a comic opera company of which she recently had been engaged as leading soubrette . Billy 's call was a short one . At eight o'clock that evening he sent this note to her from the café where he was dining : `` Will be at stage door with carriage at eleven , as before . '' He was there at eleven . So was the tenor . The little Tyrrell came out and looked from one to the other .
