It will give me pleasure" her lids drooped to illustrate finality "to make this garment for the value of the material, which will be " her lips smiled amusement at the bagatelle "between seventy and eighty-five dollars no more."

She shrugged her shoulders. "Because it is the truth," she answered. "You must not expect anything more from me than the husk of things. Believe me, I am not a poseuse. I really mean it." "You may change your mind," he said. "I may," she answered. "I have no convictions, and my enemies would add, no principles.
This is usually obvious, but in some cases it is so delicately managed that you do not suspect it, unless some other woman gives you a hint of it, and even then you cannot be sure of it, seeing the self-sacrifice, almost to martyrdom, which the poseuse makes for it.
