"My dear child, I also am a very clever man," he said, trying to sink his consciousness of having for a moment stood gaping. "You are--you are; I delight in you. No ladies at all--no _femmes comme il faut?"_ she began again. "Ah what do _they_ matter? Your business is the artistic life!" he broke out with inconsequence, irritated, moreover, at hearing her sound that trivial note again.
