Little Marie, waiting across the Alserstrasse for a bus, and stamping from one foot to the other to keep warm, recognized and admired her. After all, the American women were chic, she decided, although some of the doctors had wives of a dowdiness Himmel! And she could copy the Fraulein's hat for two Kronen and a bit of ribbon she possessed. The presentation of the bathrobe was a success.
Epochmaking as the walk had been, seeing that it had reestablished a friendship and made a working basis for future comradely relations, they were back at the corner of the Alserstrasse before ten. As they turned in at the little street, a man, lurching somewhat, almost collided with Harmony.
And then at last toward evening she happened on a gloomy little pension near the corner of the Alserstrasse, and it being dark and the plume not showing, and the landlady missing the rustle owing to cotton in her ears for earache, Harmony found terms that she could meet for a time. A mean little room enough, but with a stove.
And it was no divided allegiance she promised him. "Career? I shall have a career. Yours!" "And your music?" She colored, held him closer. "Some day," she whispered, "I shall tell you about that." Late winter morning in Vienna, with the school-children hurrying home, the Alserstrasse alive with humanity soldiers and chimney-sweeps, housewives and beggars.
