As to what he saw, after 'Salome, he remembered vividly only three pictures Elise Delaunay's two a portrait and a workshop interior before which he stood, lost in naive wonder at her talent; and the head of a woman, with a thin pale face, reddish-brown hair, and a look of pantherish grace and force, which he was told was the portrait of an actress at the Odeon who was making the world stare Mademoiselle Bernhardt.
I cried, and calling for my secretary, I said, "Give me Delaunay's letter that I gave you yesterday." He brought it out of one of his numerous pockets and gave it to Perrin to read. "Would you care to come and play La Nuit d'Octobre at Lady Dudley's on Thursday, June 5? We are offered 5000 francs for us two. Kind regards.

Harry, feeling pride but not showing it, saluted and left the room, going at once to Madame Delaunay's, where he had left his baggage.
'He should have been a second Barye. Ah, la vie Parisienne la maudite vie Parisienne! Again Lenain exploded. 'Come and lunch, you idiot, he said, taking the lad's arm; 'for whom are you posing?
