"A woman I painted once in Paris," he said. "Sorry, Rebecca, but I hadn‘t noticed it. Stand up. I can‘t see it if you sit in a heap like that. Rather nice. A lovely colour!" She crossed to the picture but he reâ€" mained sitting on the low seat by the door, quietly watching her. She wasâ€" he had never considered the matter before â€" thirtyâ€"five?

It‘s a rather curious fact.‘"‘ Slowly she turned and came back to the table: "She has very beautiful eyes." "Very," he agreed. ‘"You must learn a great deal about women by painting them," she said thoughtfully. "You know, Paul, you intrigue me," she said as he lighted her cigarette. "I thought that you writers had agreed not to use that word any more. "What does it mean, by the way? I‘ve oftemn wondered." "To make one curious. Few people have that effect on me." "Or on me, Rebecca." "Why haven‘t you married?" "I‘ve never had time. You see, Reâ€" becca, I‘ve been a very busy man." "Nonsense. I‘m certain that there‘s a romance at the back of your life} There‘s probably a good plot in it, too," she added as an afterthought. ‘"Romance!" he said, wistfully. "Shall I tell you the tale of my life, Rebecca?" "If I thought there would be a shred of truth in what you said I‘d love you to. But I should like to know the story of that woman in the picture over of tr to:; ofâ€" t therd "So would I. I fancy that it would be very interesting." "She was a model?" "In so far that K painted her, yes." ‘"You‘re in a most maddening mood, this afternoon. Quiescent! You acâ€" cept everything I say. I‘ve never known a man who could be so rude so politelyâ€"not outside France, anyway. You haven‘t told me yet why you setâ€" tled down here. You‘re not going to be married?" she asked sharply. "No," he said evenly. ‘"Men of your age are capable of the most incredible folly,"she said in a reâ€" lieved tone. "You regard marriage as ‘incredible folly,‘ then?" "Not necessarily. Not if it is intelliâ€" gent. For a man like you to go and marry a chit of a grl would be the most crass folly." ‘"Don‘t worry, Rebecca,‘" he smiled. "It was probably only my vanity, but in San Remo I thought that you were rather fond of me." "So I was. Bo I am.‘"‘ "@Quite so," she said. "I felt certain of it when you disappeared into thin air that day. I really thought you had run away from me." He went cut with her to her car. "Ferhaps its just as well, Paul. I could have been very fond, of you. And it places a woman at such an infernal disadvantage." "My dear Rebecca, you would never be at a disadvantage for long." "I think you‘re right. Goodâ€"bye." She turned as her car reached the main road but Paul Brereton had alâ€" ready entered the house. He was, inâ€" deed, turning over the leaves of a telephone book. "Why should friends." ‘‘Nonsense!" she snapped. "As a friend I should bore you to distraction. And yvou would me." "That.. is true,‘‘â€" he agreed..= **You mean that if you wanted a friend you would naturally turn to a woman, as I should to a man." "I didn‘t mean anything of the kind. I meant that friendship between a man and a woman is impossible because sooner or later one or the otherâ€"or bothâ€"go and fall in love." ‘‘But, of course, there is no possibiâ€" lity of either of us exhibiting such a lack of selfâ€"control as to fall in love with the other." ‘"Oln?" "We are artists . . . and they arc always a race apart.‘" "That is meant to be ironic?" "I1t was ironic, my dear Rebecca,."
