I'll show the Metropolitan what opera is, and I'll give them and Sennier a knock out, or I'm only fit to run cinematograph shows, and take about fakes through the one night stands. But Claude's got to back me up. I don't sign any contract till every note in his score's in its place." "But you'll be in America when he finishes it." "That don't matter.
"Well, madame, you are a brave woman. That is all I can say!" "Brave! But why?" Mrs. Shiffney's eyes looked full of laughter. "Why, Henriette?" she asked, leaning forward. "Do tell us." "Gillier makes other people like he is," said Madame Sennier. "But what does it matter? Each one for himself! Don't you say that in England?" She had turned to Max Elliot.
When he arrived at Djenan-el-Maqui he brought with him, as of old, an infectious atmosphere of enthusiasm. With his iron will he combined a light heart. He had none of the childishness that surprised, and sometimes charmed, in Jacques Sennier, but much that was boyish still pleasantly lingered with him. In him, too, there was something courageous that inspired courage in others.
Before leaving they paid a visit to Djenan-el-Maqui to say adieu to Charmian. The day was unusually hot for the time of year, and both Mrs. Shiffney and Madame Sennier were shrouded in white veils with patterns. These, the latest things from Paris, were almost like masks. Little of the faces beneath them could be seen.
And, beside, he could not work. He could not be patient. He wanted to do something with a rush, to change his life in a moment, to take a leap forward, as Sennier had done that night, a leap from shadow into light. He wanted to grasp something, to have a new experience.
"Wait till I build an opera house in London, something better than that old barn of yours over against the Police Station." "Are you going to build an opera house here?" "Why not? But I've got to find some composers. They're somewhere about. Bound to be. The thing is to find them. It was a mere chance Sennier coming up.
Darkness was falling, and it was growing cold on this rocky height which frowned above the gorge of the Rummel. Neither Claude Heath nor Gillier appeared at dinner. Their absence was discussed by Mrs. Shiffney and her friends, and Mrs. Shiffney told them that she had seen Claude Heath that evening in a café. After dinner Henriette Sennier remarked discontentedly: "What are we going to do?"
Charmian began to study him, this man of a great success. How different he was from Claude. Now that she was with Sennier she was more sharply aware of Claude's reserve than she had ever been before, of a certain rigidity which underlay all the apparent social readiness. When Sennier sang, in a voice that scarcely existed but that charmed, she was really entranced.
"I say she has!" "Mrs. Shiffney herself specially advised me not to show it to her." "To her to Madame Sennier?" "Yes." "Mrs. Shiffney advised you! Oh you oh, that men should claim to have keener intellects than we women! Ah! Ah!"
"Only a very few to welcome Margot back from New York." "Did she enjoy her visit?" "Immensely. She's as she calls it tickled to death with the Americans in their own country. She meant to stay only one night, but she was there three weeks. It seems all New York has gone mad over Jacques Sennier." "I'm glad they see how really fine his opera is," Claude said, seriously, even earnestly.
