Bamberger was 'a very pleasant gentleman, Feist declared, and poor Miss Bamberger had been a 'superb dresser and a first-class conversationalist, and was a severe loss to her friends and admirers. Though Logotheti, who was only a Greek, did not understand every word of this panegyric, he perceived that it was intended for the highest praise. He said he should like to know Mr.
Sometimes, for instance, she says nothing at all. That means that there may be a chance of success but that she herself is not sure. 'She kissed me on both cheeks, Margaret said with a laugh, 'and she talked about my début. 'Then I should advise you to make your début at once, Logotheti answered. 'She means that you will have a very great success.
Feist, 'may be. I doubt it. Dinner was announced. 'Will you keep house for me? asked the Ambassador of Lady Maud. 'There's something rather appropriate about your playing Ambassadress here, observed Logotheti. Margaret heard but did not understand that her new acquaintance was a Russian subject. Mustapha Pasha held out his arm to take her in to dinner.
Men who are especially gifted almost always seem exaggerated to average society, either because, like Logotheti, they feel more, want more and get more than other men, by sheer all-round exuberance of life and energy, or else because, as in many great poets, some one faculty is almost missing, which would have balanced the rest, so that in its absence the others work at incredible speed and tension, wear themselves out in half a lifetime and leave immortal records of their brief activity.
She was perhaps just then in the temper to be won, though she did not know it, and she unconsciously wished that Lushington would take hold of her and almost hurt her, as Logotheti had done, instead of being so dreadfully anxious to be told that he had done right a week ago. 'You don't care a straw for Logotheti, he said, so suddenly that she started a little.
'Rather unfortunate at this juncture, isn't it? observed Margaret. But Lady Maud looked shocked and glanced at Logotheti as if asking a question. 'No, said the Greek, answering her thought. 'I did not kill him, poor devil! He did it himself, out of fright, I think. So that side of the affair ends.
That's exactly what I mean. I'm much obliged, all the same, but I'm going to give them up, just like that. 'Very well, Logotheti answered. 'I promise not to bring any more. I think you are very wise to make the resolution, if you really think they hurt you though I don't see why they should. Like most weak people who make good resolutions, Mr. Feist did not realise what he was doing.
It was on a Sunday afternoon and there were a number of lions on the lawn, and half a dozen women of the world. Logotheti seemed to know more than half the people present, which is rather unusual in Paris, and most of them treated him with the rather fawning deference accorded by society to the superior claims of wealth over good blood.
Hitherto Logotheti had always taken the one that leads to the right bank, along the Avenue de Versailles to the Porte St. Cloud. Another follows the left bank by Bas Meudon, but the most pleasant road goes through the woods Fausses Reposes. One morning, when he knew that there was to be a rehearsal, Lushington bicycled out by the usual way without meeting the motor car.
'They all marry, answered Logotheti vaguely, 'and their husbands disappear, by some law of nature we do not understand absorbed into the elements, evaporated, drawn up into the clouds like moisture. One might write an interesting essay on the husbands of prima donnas and great actresses. What becomes of them?
