"And if we could manage to have them invited to that well, what more could a fond parent ask?" "H-m-m-m!" says I, rubbin' my chin. "Might get ourselves disliked if we sprung a ringer on 'em that way. Course, if this Royce boy could be trained to pull a broad A now and then, and be drilled into doin' a maxixe that would pass, I might take a chance. Mrs.
"And say, if I owned a ball dress like that I'd be somebody's Lulu all right! Can I have the pleasure of the next maxixe, Miss Bumpus?"
All the girls in the "dancings" and sportsmen at the bar who like a fox-trot or a maxixe have been given to believe, by people who ought to know better, that they are more sensitive to music than those who prefer Beethoven. The fact that Stravinsky wants his music to be enjoyed in the cafés gives pub-loafers fair ground for supposing that Stravinsky respects their judgement.
When she had pinned it on she bent mockingly over her sister, who sat on the bed. "How d'you like my new toque? Peekaboo! That's the way the guys rubberneck to see if you're good lookin'." Lise was exalted, feverish, apparently possessed by some high secret; her eyes shone, and when she crossed the room she whistled bars of ragtime and executed mincing steps of the maxixe.
At that, if it hadn't been for half a dozen chaps in the front row of the crowd that helped me shove 'em in, and the others that blocked off the groggy coppers who were wabblin' to their feet, we couldn't have pulled it off. But we piled 'em in, I gave the cabby the Purdy-Pells' street number, and away they was whirled. And you can bet I didn't linger in front of the Maison Maxixe long after that.
But as for Alice Murray and her friend whom she had met at the Palais de Maxixe well, she was forced to admit that she did not know, that Constance's warning might, after all, be true. Munro had had to run out of town for a few days on a business trip. That she knew, for it had been the reason why he had wanted to see her before he went. She called up Alice Murray at the number she had given.
"And say, if I owned a ball dress like that I'd be somebody's Lulu all right! Can I have the pleasure of the next maxixe, Miss Bumpus?"
"The old gag!" says I. "I know what would fit your case, a late dinner at the Maison Maxixe. Eh, Steele?" and I tips him the knowin' wink. "Why er yes," says J. Bayard. "I presume Mr. McCabe is correct. And I am sure we should be delighted to have Mrs. Hollister as our guest." "We!" I gasps under my breath. Say, the nerve of him! But before I can think up any previous date the lady has accepted.
"I think it quite sufficient," says he, "that one of us intends making an exhibition. Marjorie has been taking lessons, you know." "So I hear," says I. "And it's all right if she don't tackle the maxixe. Hello! There it goes. Now you will see some stunts!" Yep, we did!
"I have heard of the place," says she. "I am quite willing to endure an evening there. I am wondering, though, if I should not be rather conspicuous. You see, I brought with me none but simple gowns such as this, and perhaps the contrast " "You'd be about as prominent at the Maxixe in that outfit," says I, "as a one-legged albino at a coon cakewalk.
