After a little argument: "All you've got to remember," I said, "is that you're awfully sorry you're so late, and that the truth is you forgot all about the sitting, and that, by the way, when you got here, you met a man going out, and that you don't know who he was, but you suppose it was alright. Only you thought Mr. Larel ought to know." "I've never met anyone like you before."
Followed quick steps on the steep, uncarpeted stairs, and a knock on the studio's door. "Come in," said I. The door opened and a girl in a lilac dress swept into the room. "I'm afraid I'm awfully la O-o-oh!" she said. "If it isn't her!" said I. For a moment we stood looking at one another with big eyes. Then: "Where's Mr. Larel?" she demanded. "He'll be here in a moment. Won't you sit down?
"Would have been better," she said, resuming her seat in the depths of 'Luxury. "But the skirts of to-day don't help." "And my bow would have been deeper: but the braces I bought yesterday afternoon " "That'll do," she said, laughing. "Seriously, where is Mr. Larel, and why are you here?"
"My dear, you never will. I am unique. And remember you've taken rather a fancy Here he is. Yes, queens always have their hands kissed. All real queens..." I seized my hat, stick, and gloves, and faded behind the curtains. She was really wonderful. "Mr. Larel, will you ever forgive me? I'm most awfully sorry. D'you know I quite forgot. I suppose you'd given me up? And now it's too late. Oh, yes.
Then: "He said you were awful," she said. Till a fortnight ago, I had not seen George Larel for quite five years. Not since we had been at Oxford together. When he went down, he left England, to study, I understood. He always drew rather well. Then one spring morning I struck him in Piccadilly, by the railings of the Green Park.
I turned to find my lady at my shoulder. "He's gone to wire you an apology," I said. "You are wicked," she said. "Poor Mr. Larel. I feel quite " I put my head on one side and regarded her. "Nice kid, though," I said. "I know," she said severely. "But the poor man " "She's taken quite a fancy to me," said I. She drew back, biting a red lip and trying hard not to smile.
