They said 'our room, 'our carpet, she even said 'my slippers, a gift of Léon's, a whim she had had. They were pink satin, bordered with swansdown. When she sat on his knees, her leg, then too short, hung in the air, and the dainty shoe, that had no back to it, was held on only by the toes to her bare foot. "He for the first time enjoyed the inexpressible delicacy of feminine refinements.
He said they'd go to bed early, and we came in quite late. The lamp was turned low, the door unlocked, and everything in place. Laddie went to bed without a candle, and said he'd undress and slip in easy so as not to waken them. In the morning when he got up the traveller's bed hadn't been slept in, and neither had Leon's.
In a word, she managed very well, and by no means died of hunger. She could scarcely afford Madame Chanve's three-franc table d'hôte, it is true; but we could dine modestly at Léon's, over the way, and return to the Bleu for coffee, though, it must be added, that establishment no longer enjoyed a monopoly of our custom.
Kantor laid to her lips a forefinger of silence. "Sarah, it's me! Quick, I say!" Then Leon Kantor sprang up, the old prehensile gesture of curving fingers shooting up.
