West groaned. Then a figure sprang from the shadowy ranks and called West's name, and when he saw it was Trent he cried out. Trent seized him, white with terror. "Sylvia?" West stared speechless, but Colette moaned, "Oh, Sylvia! Sylvia! and they are shelling the Quarter!" "Trent!" shouted Braith; but he was gone, and they could not overtake them.
He had only eyes for the girl. Gethryn sat staring after the couple, who were at that moment passing the gate into the Boulevard St Michel. He saw Yvonne stop and hastily thrust something into the Jew's hand, then, ignoring his obsequious salute, leave him and hurry down the Rue de Medicis. The next Gethryn knew, Braith was standing beside him.
Braith shouted, until at last they heard him. In a few moments they had made their way through the crowd and sat down, mopping their faces and protesting plaintively against the heat. Gethryn's glance questioned Braith, who said, "Mr Bulfinch and I have had the deuce of a time to make you fellows hear. You'd have been easier to call if you knew what sort of drink he can brew."
"Don't, Trent " "All right, only no more monkey business." He slipped a dozen gold pieces into the purse, and tucking it again under the mattress smiled at Braith. "How old are you?" he demanded. "Sixteen." Trent laid his hand lightly on his friend's shoulder. "I'm twenty-two, and I have the rights of a grandfather as far as you are concerned. You'll do as I say until you're twenty-one."
"What number did you get, Braith?" asked Rhodes, who couldn't keep his mind off the subject and made no pretense of trying. "Three," answered Braith. There was a howl, and all began to talk at once. "There's justice for you!" "No justice for Americans!" "Serves us right for our tariff!"
Someone with red hair. When I remarked that he was a little in that way himself, he said yes, he knew it, and he intended to found a race of that kind, to be known as the Red Rowdens. Elliott's brindle died, and we sold ours. We now keep two Russian bloodhounds. When you come to my room, knock first, for "Baby" doesn't like to be startled. Braith has kept your family together, in your old studio.
Clifford stood holding her crushed and splintered fan. He looked at Elliott, who looked gloomily back at him, as Braith entered hurriedly. "What's the matter? I saw something was wrong from the floor. Rex ill?" "Ill at ease," said Clifford, grimly. "There's a sister turned up. A devil of a sister." Braith spoke very low. "Yvonne's sister?" "Yes, a she-devil." "Did you hear her name?"
West appeared at the door, winking with much mystery, and motioned Trent to enter. Braith, who was painting in bed to keep warm, looked up, laughed, and shook hands. "Any news?" The perfunctory question was answered as usual by: "Nothing but the cannon." Trent sat down on the bed. "Where on earth did you get that?" he demanded, pointing to a half-finished chicken nestling in a wash-basin.
"It's the Salon," said Braith, as Gethryn went out with a hasty "Good night." "Poor Reggy, how hard he takes it!" sighed Clifford. Gethryn hurried along the familiar streets with his heart in his boots sometimes, and sometimes in his mouth. In his box was a letter and a note addressed in pencil.
"Clifford promised to meet us here. He'll be along soon." The pair went out for refreshments and Braith returned to his seat. The wait between the acts proved longer than was agreeable, and people grumbled. The machinery would not work, and two heavy scenes had to be shifted by hand. Good Monsieur Bordier flew about the stage in a delirium of excitement.
