I sent you, Vivie a newspaper with the announcement of my marriage Dj'ever get it?" Vivie: "Never. But I was undergoing a sea-change of my own, just then, which I will tell you all about presently." Frank: "Well then. I came back to England on a hurried visit. You remember, Praddy? But you were away in Italy and I couldn't find Vivie anywhere.
To his studio Miss Kitty Vavasour or Miss Kate Warren would often come and pose for the head and shoulders, or for some draped caryatid wanted for an ambitious porch in an imaginary millionaire's house in Kensington Palace Gardens. When in 1897, Vivie had learnt about her mother's "profession," she had flung off violently from all her mother's "friends," except "Praddy."
However this mob at last quitted Praddy's premises and he and David were left alone. Praed yawned, and almost intentionally knocked over an easel with a semi-obscene drawing on it of a Sphynx with swelling breasts embracing a lean young man against his will. David: "Praddy! why do you tolerate such people and why prostitute your studio to such unwholesome art?" Praed: "My dear David!
Had a sort of notion, don't know why, that dear old Viv would be in it, up to the neck. Got mixed up in the crowd and helped a woman or two out of it. Lady Feenix they said it was picked up some and took 'em into her motor. How're the bruises?" Vivie: "Oh, they ache rather, but it is such joy to have such friends as you and Praddy and Michael Rossiter, that I don't mind what I go through..."
Or it would do quite as well if he wrote to Praddy; but not to his father, which might only needlessly agitate the old clergyman down in Wales, whom Vivie by an unexpected chance had come to know.
Soon as I heard you was sent to prison I come over and went straight to Praddy. My! He was good. He made me put up with him, knowin' I wanted to live quiet and keep away from the old set. 'There's my parlour-maid, 'e says, 'sort of housekeeper to me good sort too, but wants a bit of yumourin. You'll fix it up with her, he says. And I jolly soon did.
