'It's so hot I can't sleep. Don't worry. Maisie put her elbows on the window-sill and looked at the moonlight on the straight, poplar-flanked road. Summer had come upon Vitry-sur-Marne and parched it to the bone.
John's Wood, the big studio, then I pepper-potted, I mean I went to the National, and now I'm working under Kami. 'But Kami is in Paris surely? 'No; he has his teaching studio in Vitry-sur-Marne. I work with him in the summer, and I live in London in the winter. I'm a householder. 'Do you sell much? 'Now and again, but not often. There is my 'bus. I must take it or lose half an hour.
Why didn't you tell me? 'I couldn't write. 'You might have told Mr. Torpenhow. 'What has he to do with my affairs? 'He he brought me from Vitry-sur-Marne. He thought I ought to see you. 'Why, what has happened? Can I do anything for you? No, I can't. I forgot. 'Oh, Dick, I'm so sorry! I've come to tell you, and Let me take you back to your chair. 'Don't! I'm not a child.
The mail-bags were thundering into the forehold, and the red-haired girl was watching them. 'You'll have a rough passage to-night, said Dick. 'It's blowing outside. I suppose I may come over and see you if I'm good? 'You mustn't. I shall be busy. At least, if I want you I'll send for you. But I shall write from Vitry-sur-Marne. I shall have heaps of things to consult you about.
Go into the bedroom and suggest full confession and an appeal to this Maisie girl, whoever she is. I honestly believe he'd try to kill you; and the blindness has made him rather muscular. 'Torpenhow's course is perfectly clear, said the Keneu. 'He will go to Vitry-sur-Marne, which is on the Bezieres-Landes Railway, single track from Tourgas.
Sometimes Dick lectured at length on his craft, then he cursed himself for his folly in being enslaved. He pleaded to Maisie for a kiss only one kiss before she went away, and called to her to come back from Vitry-sur-Marne, if she would; but through all his ravings he bade heaven and earth witness that the queen could do no wrong.
Then she would divide her years between the little studio in England and Kami's big studio at Vitry-sur-Marne. No, she would go to another master, who should force her into the success that was her right, if patient toil and desperate endeavour gave one a right to anything. Dick had told her that he had worked ten years to understand his craft. She had worked ten years, and ten years were nothing.
That night there ran a legend through Vitry-sur-Marne of a mad Englishman, doubtless suffering from sunstroke, who had drunk all the officers of the garrison under the table, had borrowed a horse from the lines, and had then and there eloped, after the English custom, with one of those more mad English girls who drew pictures down there under the care of that good Monsieur Kami.
How Torpenhow had managed in the course of twenty hours to find his way to the hearts of the cavalry officers in quarters at Vitry-sur-Marne, to discuss with them the certainty of a glorious revenge for France, to reduce the colonel to tears of pure affability, and to borrow the best horse in the squadron for the journey to Kami's studio, is a mystery that only special correspondents can unravel.
