"Tole the Madame you'd pay, Skinny," said the man as he passed Andrews's chair. Andrews nodded. The two M. P.'s drew up to the table beside which Andrews sat. Andrews could not keep his eyes off them. Bill Huggis hummed as he pulled the cork out of the bottle. "It's the smile that makes you happy, It's the smile that makes you sad." Handsome watched him, grinning.
The door opened slowly to let in a tall, stoop-shouldered man with a long face and long teeth. "Who's the frawg?" he asked in a startled way, with one hand on the door knob. "All right, Smiddy; it ain't a frawg; it's a guy Chris knows. He's taken his uniform off." "'Lo, buddy," said Smiddy, shaking Andrews's hand. "Gawd, you look like a frawg." "That's good," said Andrews.
Her ivory face and slender body and her very dark eyes sent a sudden flush through Andrews's whole frame as he looked at her. The black erect figure disappeared in the gate of the gardens. Andrews got to his feet suddenly. "I've got to go," he said in a strange voice.... "I just remember a man was waiting for me at the School Headquarters." "Let him wait."
"How the hell should I know?" said the regimental sergeant-major. "Because I've got it in the orders already.... I don't know how it got in." The voice was Walters's voice, staccatto and business- like. "Well, then, why d'you want to bother me about it? Give me that paper." The regimental sergeant-major jerked the paper out of Andrews's hand and looked at it savagely.
Willard to the Amsterdam and treated her to a luncheon which nothing short of a ten-dollar bill would pay for, after which the two went shopping, replenishing Miss Andrews's wardrobe most of which lay snugly stored in the hold of the New York, and momentarily getting farther and farther away from its fair owner in the course of which tour Miss Andrews expended a sum which, had Harley possessed it, would have made it unnecessary for him to write the book he had in mind at all.
"Have you ever been on the stage?" asked Andrews. "What stage, sir? I'm in the last stages now, sir.... I am an artistic photographer and none other.... Moki and I are going into the movies together when they decide to have peace." "Who's Moki?" "Moki Hadj is the lady in the salmon-colored dress," said Henslowe, in a loud stage whisper in Andrews's ear. "They have a lion cub named Bubu."
"You're damn right there warn't." "Ah'd lak te live in this country a while," said Chrisfield. "We might ask 'em to let us off right here." "Can't be that the front's like this," said Judkins, poking his head out between Andrews's and Chrisfield's heads so that the bristles of his unshaven chin rubbed against Chrisfield's cheek.
Andrews did not look up. The cat still slept in front of the stove which roared with a gentle singsong. The old brown man still stirred the yellow liquid in his glass. The clock was ticking uphill towards the hour. Andrews's hands were cold. There was a nervous flutter in his wrists and in his chest. Inside of him was a great rift of light, infinitely vast and infinitely distant.
Andrews's ears were full of the sound of racing gutters and spattering waterspouts, and of the hard unceasing beat of the rain on the pavements. It was after closing time. The corrugated shutters were drawn down, in front of cafe windows. Andrews's cap was wet; water trickled down his forehead and the sides of his nose, running into his eyes.
He paused, rolling his dark eyes; and I could hear Andrews's heavy breathing; then: "It was the 'new art' the posing of the model not in a lighted studio, but in the scene to be depicted. "And the fellow who painted her! the man with the barbarous name! Bah! he was big as big as our Mr. Andrews and ugly pooh! uglier than he! A moon-face, with cropped skull like a prize-fighter and no soul.
