Salesgirl? Mannequin? Between the two Elisabeth could see no difference in status. On the contrary, her début as a mannequin seemed to her tantamount to being launched, or almost, as an actress. The agreement was concluded and had a further notable result. She had expected Paul to be upset; and in fact, for a number of obscure reasons, he did quite genuinely fall into transports of rage and indignation, waving his arms, shouting that he didn’t fancy being the brother of a high-class tart, that he’d sooner see her on the streets.

“I’d rather not,” retorted Elisabeth, “I might run into you.”

“My poor girl,” sneered Paul, “take a look at yourself in the glass. You’ll only make an exhibition of yourself. You’ll be out on your fanny within an hour. Mannequin, indeed! Stick yourself up as a scarecrow. That’s more your line.”
