Monsieur Jack! this was left by Monsieur Fallowby!" He took the letter, and leaning on the threshold of the lodge, read it: "Dear Jack, "I believe Braith is dead broke and I'm sure Fallowby is. Braith swears he isn't, and Fallowby swears he is, so you can draw your own conclusions. I've got a scheme for a dinner, and if it works, I will let you fellows in. "Yours faithfully, "West.
"I forgot to say that Hartman often dines there, and I draw my own conclusions," continued West. "Now about this chicken, half of it is for Braith and myself, and half for Colette, but of course you will help me eat my part because I'm not hungry." "Neither am I," began Braith, but Trent, with a smile at the pinched faces before him, shook his head saying, "What nonsense!
He rose excitedly and went back into the studio; his cheeks were aflame and his breath came sharp and hard. In a corner, with its face to the wall, stood an old, unfinished portrait of Yvonne, begun after one of those idyllic summer days. When Braith walked in, after three times knocking, he found Gethryn painting feverishly by the last glimmer of daylight on this portrait.
"Yis, Pravast," hiccupped Brown, "he has! He's as phull of drink as a whelk-shell's phull of whelk. He's nearly as phull as meself and begorra, that's mighty phull." He stared suddenly, scratching his head solemnly as if the fact had just occurred to him. Then he winked. "You could set fire to his braith!" cried Wabster. "A match to his mouth would send him in a lowe."
"That's awfully nice of you, Rowden," cried Gethryn, with a happy smile; "she will have a chance to thank you tonight." He leaned over and touched his face to the flowers. As he raised his head again, his eyes met Braith's. "Hello!" cried Braith, cordially. Rex did not notice how pale he was, and called back, "Hello!" with a feeling of relief at Braith's tone. It was always so.
Braith so seldom swore, that the round oath with which he broke into their vocal exercises stopped them through sheer astonishment. But Clifford, determined on self-assertion and loving an argument, especially out of season, turned on Braith and began: "Why should not Youth love?" "Love! Bah!" said Braith. "Why Bah?" he persisted, stimulated by the disgust of Braith.
In the midst of his bitterness, Braith could not help smiling at the thought of Nina with a maid and a courier. He remembered the tiny apartment in the Latin Quarter which she had been glad to occupy with him until conducted by her courier into finer ones.
You don't know what you may get into. I saw the siege, and the man who was in Paris in '71 has seen enough." "Oh, this is nothing serious," urged Clifford. "If they fire I shall leg it; so will the lordly Reginald; so will we all." Braith dug his hands into the pockets of his velveteens, and shook his head. "No," he said, "I've got some work to do. So have you, Rex."
Been fired on by the soldiers once. Pont Neuf and the Arc guarded by cannon. Carleton came hurrying up. "The French students are loose and raising Cain. We're going to assist at the show. Come along." "No," growled Braith, and looked hard at Rex. "Oh, come along! We're all going," said Carleton, "Elliott, Gethryn, the Colossus, Thaxton, Clifford." Braith turned sharply to Rex.
"You want to go back there and never quit it alive that's what you want," said Braith, nervously. "Don't, either. Come and button this collar and stop swearing." "I suppose you're going back to Julien's the day after tomorrow," said Braith, sarcastically, after Rex was dressed and had been helped to the lounge in the studio. "No," said he, "I'm going to Arcachon tomorrow."
