Chapter III
"The other one, blooming and beautiful," I repeated, "is Life, and he's going to put it on; unless indeed he has just taken it off." "He's dreadful, he's awful--that's what I mean," said Mrs. Server. "But what does Mr. Long think?" "The artificial face, on the other hand," I went on, as Long now said nothing, "is extremely studied and, when you carefully look at it, charmingly pretty. I don't see the grimace."
