Joan had no appointment till the afternoon. They drove out to St. Germain, and had dejeuner at a small restaurant opposite the Chateau; and afterwards they strolled on to the terrace. "What was my mother doing in Paris?" asked Joan, "She was studying for the stage," he answered. "Paris was the only school in those days. I was at Julien's studio. We acted together for some charity.
But, although she was very indignant at the fiery nature of his caress, as implying a want of respect little in harmony with Julien's habitual reserve, she was astonished at herself for not being still more angry. At first, the affront put upon her had roused a feeling of indignation, but now, when she thought of it, she felt only a gentle embarrassment, and a soft beating of the heart.
Such was Julien's condition of mind after the last sitting that he actually left the precious portrait unguarded by neglecting to lock the door of the studio on going out, and the Bonnie Lassie and I, happening in, beheld it in its fulfillment. A slow flush burned its way upward in the Bonnie Lassie's face as she studied it. "He's done it!" she exclaimed. "Flower and flame!
Reine might be said to live alone at La Thuiliere, for her father could hardly be regarded seriously as a protector. Julien's visits might have compromised her, and the young man's severe principles of rectitude forbade him to cause scandal which he could not repair.
It is for you to act as you think best. If you change your mind, come to me. I will give you sanctuary at any time. Take me to my automobile, please." He obeyed her and watched her drive off. Then he went slowly and unmolested back to his rooms. The concierge of Julien's apartments issued with a somewhat mysterious air from his little lodge as his tenant passed through the door.
The next ten days were very busy and exciting ones. Judy and Pierce plunged into their drawing with renewed zest. Pierce was at Julien's, too, but as the men's school is in an entirely different part of Paris from the women's, he and Judy saw each other only in picture galleries or on the delightful jaunts that the whole crowd took.
But suddenly Julien's voice giving some orders to old Simon would snatch her abruptly from her dreams, and she would take up her work again, saying: "That is all over," and a tear would fall on her hands as she plied the needle. Rosalie, formerly so cheerful and always singing, had changed. Her rounded cheeks had lost their color, and were now almost hollow, and sometimes had an earthy hue.
Julien's affections were centered elsewhere; she knew that; and, on her side, the mere thought of having to submit to his caresses again, made her shudder with disgust. Perhaps she would have given up the idea had not each night the vision of a daughter playing with Paul under the plane tree appeared to her.
Julien, those articles signed by you and dated from Paris may do a magnificent work." Julien's eyes were already agleam. "Splendid!" he muttered, rising to his feet. "If only I can do it!" "Of course you can do it," Kendricks insisted firmly. "Before you spoke so often you used to write for the Nineteenth Century every month. You haven't forgotten the trick.
That evening she had not even observed Alba's dreaminess, Dorsenne once gone, and it required that Hafner should call her attention to it. To the scheming Baron, if the novelist was attentive to the young girl it was certainly with the object of capturing a considerable dowry. Julien's income of twenty-five thousand francs meant independence.
