The name of Willem Magnus was easily identified now that the cripple had aided him.

“And you, sir, are Max Farway,” he said softly. “I am honored and appalled.”

“Appalled! By me?” Farway gaped at him suspiciously.

“Appalled that I chose to demonstrate my poor talent before one of the acknowledged masters of current art.”

“A flatterer,” sneered Farway. “I told you, Alicia, a panderer to psychology who has not yet been paid.”

“Max. Stop it.” Alicia’s voice was hard and low. “If you say another word I shall leave. Mr. Florian has done me the honor of paying a great deal of attention to what would normally have been an ordinary commercial transaction. I am grateful, Mr. Florian, for the sketch and for your compliments. What do I owe you?”

Florian stood up and shook his head. The pens and chalks he slid into the case; he took the pad from the table and tore the sketch carefully from it.

With a pen he scrawled a rapid signature across the bottom and handed the portrait to Alicia.

“No payment, Madame.” He smiled at her. “I have been privileged to meet Max Farway. I have an introduction to Willem Magnus that will be invaluable when I return to Earth. I want nothing more.”
