“Of course. They admired them vastly.”
“And who did you talk with about them; especially, I mean?”
“Julius Mantelle, I think.”
“Who is he?”
“A recent acquaintance from Paris and a member of the club. During the rehearsal he made an appointment with me.”
“Where were you going?”
“Why, I told you about that. To the African fortune teller’s. We had a date for two o’clock, and we waited at the café, Townsend and I, for Julius to come.”
“He did not arrive until after Townsend left?”
“No. He went home with one of the ladies.”
