Julien shook his head. "There was trouble about the manicurist," he said, "and she had to leave the country. She's in South Africa now." "I can't say that I like the appearance of the fellow," Kendricks declared. "Don't funk the soup, Julien it's better than it looks. He's a slimy-looking sort of chap.
In Mobile at the Elite Colored Beauty Parlors for the first time in his life he tendered his finger nails for ministrations at the hands of a dashing chocolate-ice-cream-colored manicurist and spent the remainder of that same afternoon in a sunny spot, glistening pleasantly.
"She was sent for into the room of some princess at Claridge's, I think it was, or one of the west-end hotels and while she was there a man came from one of the inner rooms and said a few words in Russian. The girl had been in St. Petersburg and understood. It made quite a difference. I remember the story." "Might have been the same man and the same manicurist," Kendricks remarked.
How can the clerk support the cloak saleswoman who has had eighteen dollars a week of her own? How can the barber support the manicurist who has had twelve? The cloak saleswoman may talk flippantly about it, but, at heart, isn't she seriously right? She has pulled herself up to a certain level. Except in response to a grande passion she will not again drop below it.
But that is an unnatural life for a man, and Peter was lonely, his dreams were haunted by the faces of Nell Doolin and Rosie Stern, and even of little Jennie Todd. One day another face came back to him, the face of Miss Frisbie, the little manicurist who had spurned him because he was a Red. Now suddenly Peter realized that he was no longer a Red!
"To the lady whom your little friend, the manicurist, sent me to visit," Julien replied. "Perhaps now you will tell me that she is an ambassadress in disguise?" "I'll tell you nothing about her this morning," Kendricks said. "I'll tell you nothing which you ought not to find out for yourself." "Do you think I may breakfast with her safely?" Julien inquired. "Heaven knows I don't!"
After lunch she sauntered back into Regent Street and stopped by an American Beauty Parlour. She went in and inquired the price of a manicure. It would be one-and-sixpence. So she entered a warm wee cubicle full of beauty apparatus, sat down, and gave her right hand for the manicurist's ministrations. The manicurist was a lithe, tall girl, with a small young, wicked face; and meekly demure.
"I have never seen prettier nails, madame," said the manicurist, as she smeared on cream. After she left the Beauty Parlour Marie had nowhere to go. There was no Rokeby to give her tea in his comfortable office while he offered her business advice; he had been very good with his advice over the question of Marie's inheritance.
Francis, getting a shave and hair-cut. A manicurist saw his hands and, smothering a giggle, pointed them out to the young fellow she was working on. "Go after them," he grinned. "There's a fortune for you in them." "Nothing doing," she returned from her higher wisdom. "He ain't the kind that knows he's got any hands unless he's got a job for them to do." Later King telephoned to the Gaynor home.
"A sister manicurist, I expect," Julien replied scornfully; "a palmist, or some creature of that sort." Kendricks hammered upon the table for the waiter. "One takes one's chances," he agreed, "but I do not think that the little girl over there would send you upon a fool's errand. There are other things in life, you know, Julien.
