One of them was an acquaintance of Van Brinen's. Claude asked him if Van Brinen were in the house. He said yes. Claude then inquired whether Van Brinen knew the number of his box, and was told that he did know it. The conversation turned to other topics, but when the two men had gone out Charmian said: "Why did you ask those questions about Mr. Van Brinen, Claudie?"
"Thank you very much," he almost muttered. But he wrung Van Brinen's thin hand hard, and when he was alone with Charmian he said: "Of all the men I have met in New York that is the one I like best." Van Brinen had considerable influence in the musical world of New York, and after that evening he used it on Claude's behalf.
"May I have it, then?" She knew he was holding out his hand. She made a great effort, lifted her hand, and gave him Van Brinen's letter without looking at him. She heard the thin paper rustle as he folded it. "Charmian," he said, "I'm going to keep this letter. Do you know why? Because I love the man who wrote it.
