"They were so unadventurous," he retorted. "I don't know what Mrs. Carey would say if she knew the sort of things we talk about together." "You don't imagine I shall tell her." "Will you promise?" When he had done this, she told him how an art-student who had a room on the floor above her but she interrupted herself. "Why don't you go in for art? You paint so prettily."
Then Gudrun asked, in a voice that was quite cool and casual, as if resuming a casual conversation: 'Was the girl a model? 'Nein, sie war kein Modell. Sie war eine kleine Malschulerin. 'An art-student! replied Gudrun. And how the situation revealed itself to her!
And then he read a letter in a writing he didn't know; it was from Mavis Argles, the friend of Vincy the young art-student: Vincy had given her his address some time ago asking him for some special privilege which he possessed, to see some of the Chinese pictures in the British Museum. He was to oblige her with a letter to the museum. She would call for it.
And so of 'Cloud Perspective, cleverly set forth and illustrated, but appealing perhaps too exclusively to the art-student for transfer here, and of 'Cloud Colours. Is it well to watch them like Turner? or to neglect them with Claude, Salvator, Ruysdael, Wouvermans, never to look nor portray?
"Who is the young lady with Mrs. Forrester?" he asked presently. "In white, with yellow hair. Just in front of us. Do you know?" Betty had leaned forward to look. "Don't you even know her by sight?" she said. "That is Miss Woodruff, the girl who follows Madame Okraska everywhere. She attached herself to her years ago, I believe, in Rome or Paris; some sort of little art-student she was.
"Then you exceeded your duties, Miss Bunting. You should have referred Miss Jenkins to me." Miss Bunting made no reply. She had acted precisely in the way suggested, but Miss Jenkins, a young art-student of independent opinions, had flatly declined to be "referred" to Mrs. Lawrence. "It's not the least use, Bunty dear," she had said.
He spent a great deal of time thinking out means of helping materially the young art-student, and always he succeeded in this object by his elaborate and tactful care.
Everybody had gone except the members of the Committee and Phyllis Desmond who waited for her friend, Maud Blackadder. Dorothy remembered Phyllis Desmond now; she was that art-student girl that Vera knew. She had seen her at Vera's house. They had drawn round the table again. Miss Blackadder and Miss Gilchrist conferred in whispers.
He found the taste disgusting, but the moral effect magnificent; he felt every inch an art-student; and since he drank on an empty stomach his spirits presently grew very high. He watched the crowds, and felt all men were his brothers. He was happy. When he reached Gravier's the table at which Clutton sat was full, but as soon as he saw Philip limping along he called out to him. They made room.
Then he began to speak to his clients of a "clever young feller, Paris art-student, you know," who worked for him; and soon Philip, ensconced behind a screen, in his shirt sleeves, was drawing from morning till night.
