'I saw the Cricker man beginning to dance with hardly anyone looking at him.' 'Isn't his imitation of Nijinsky wonderful?' asked Vincy. 'Simply marvellous! I thought he was imitating George Grossmith. Do you know, I love the Mitchells, Vincy. It's really great fun there.

There are so many things he's not,' said Vincy. 'Tell me some of them.' 'Well, for one thing, he's not fatuous, though he's so good-looking. He's not a lady-killing sort of person or anything else tedious.' She was delighted at this especially. 'If he took a fancy to a person--well, it might be rather serious, if you take my meaning,' said Vincy. |
