"I asked for you," she said, "and they showed me up here. But I can go away again." Jon clutched the paint-stained table. Her face and figure in its frilly frock photographed itself with such startling vividness upon his eyes, that if she had sunk through the floor he must still have seen her. "I know I told you a lie, Jon. But I told it out of love." "Yes, oh! yes! That's nothing!"
Paint-stained towels strewed the floor, chairs were upset, soap and water was splashed everywhere. Now she started afresh, by rubbing plentiful daubs of rouge into her dark cheeks. 'But why do you put on so much? Margaret asked in wonder. 'My dear, I'm an actress, said Madame Bonanni. 'I'm not ashamed of my profession!
She had some guilty reason for going to the town secretly. The paint-stained dress is a dress of hers; and the fire heard crackling in her room at four in the morning was a fire lit to destroy it. Rosanna Spearman has stolen the Diamond. I'll go in directly, and tell my aunt the turn things have taken." "Not just yet, if you please, sir," said a melancholy voice behind us.
Betteredge's room by Sergeant Cuff. "It came to my turn to go in, after her ladyship's maid and the upper housemaid had been questioned first. They had told the Sergeant enough to open his eyes to some part of the truth. He rightly believed me to have made a new nightgown secretly, but he wrongly believed the paint-stained nightgown to be mine.
In five minutes the picture was a formless, scarred muddle of colours. She threw the paint-stained duster into the studio stove, stuck out her tongue at the sleeper, and whispered, 'Bilked! as she turned to run down the staircase.

Jack Scott, wearing a paint-stained jacket, came wandering in, appropriated all the Oriental sweetmeats he could lay his hands on, looted the cigarette case, and finally he and Boris disappeared together to visit the Luxembourg Gallery, where a new silver bronze by Rodin and a landscape of Monet's were claiming the exclusive attention of artistic France.
Yes, it has come at last, beloved, the freedom of our love!" And the woman, with a half-sob, yielded herself to the strong, young arms, nor wasted a thought upon that crushed and broken talent now lying between them, dead, upon the paint-stained floor.
