She seized his ear in her teeth and bit him savagely. Fawkes uttered a hoarse scream of pain, and a second time released her, clapping his hand to the wounded member. "You damned witch cat," he said. "I could kill you." Flamby leapt from him, panting. "You couldn't!" she taunted. "All you can kill is rabbits!"
"Pardon me," he prompted, "but I'm afraid I failed to catch what you said." "I said 'no," declared Flamby untruthfully, and silently blessed the dusk which veiled her flaming cheeks. Paul Mario abashed her. She delighted to be with him, and, with him, longed to run away.
The rain-swept deserted streets made a curious appeal to Paul that night an appeal to something in his mood that was feverish and unquiet, that first had stirred in response to an apparently chance remark of Thessaly's and that had sent him out to seek Flamby in despite of the weather and the late hour.
"On the contrary, Fawkes, I take an interest in Flamby Duveen, and I wish to hear exactly what she said." "Well, sir, if you please, sir, she hollers: 'Call your blasted dogs out of my garden, John Darbey! "'The fox is a-hiding somewhere here, says John.
But he realised immediately that it was no more than natural after all and that he might have anticipated it; and secretly he was delighted because of the opportunity which it offered him of repaying in part, or of trying to repay, the debt which he owed to Michael Duveen. Moreover he had found that to give pleasure to Flamby was a gracious task.
Flamby made progress at Guilder's, growing more and more familiar with the technique of her art, but, under the careful guidance of Hammett, never losing that characteristic nonchalance of style which was the outstanding charm of her work. So many professors seem to regard their pupils as misshapen creatures, who must be reduced to a uniform pattern, but Hammett was not as one of these.
But Flamby eluded him with ease, gliding behind the trunk of a friendly oak and peering out at the enraged man elfishly. "When are they going to burn you?" she inquired. Fawkes laid his gun upon the ground, without removing his gaze from the flushed mocking face, and began cautiously to advance.
Lots of my visitors smoke pipes." "You have a number of visitors, Flamby?" "Heaps. I never had so many friends in my life." Paul began to charge his briar from a tattered pouch. "Have you ever thought, Flamby, that I neglected you?" he asked slowly. "Neglected me? Of course not. You have been to see me twice, and I felt all the time that I was keeping you from your work.
Flamby was just going out to wash the paint from her hands, for she always contrived to get nearly as much upon her fingers as upon the canvas, when a cheery voice cried: "Ha! caught you. Thought I might be too late." She turned, and there in the doorway stood Don. Less than three months had elapsed since his last leave and Flamby was intensely surprised to see him.
Flamby sprang across the studio, wrenched open the door and ran out banging it behind her. As it closed she fell back against it, panting and saw Paul Mario approaching from the direction of Chauvin's. In the glance which Paul gave Flamby there was something odic and strange. He experienced a consciousness of giving and a consciousness of loss. Flamby was aware of intense shame and mad joy.
