Excerpt from Human Bits
Here are you two taking me, anyway asked Katherine, an American student of painting lately arrived in Paris, of her old friend and her new husband. You treated me to a right good dinner on Boulevard St Germain, but where now We are taking you to the Beaux Arts, there it is on your left said the new husband. St0p teasing, Charles, where are we going? Please be serious.
We are taking you, said the flashy, attractive old friend to something somewhere in Paris, not French as our dinner was, but assez Parisienne, something a wee bit salon ish, to something where no one is quite natural, where everyone, in fact, is somewhat artificial, where there will be artists of all breeds, something of a mixture, something like me, Katherine, your old friend, journalist by marriage to this rascal, musician by descent, Opera singer by occupation, American by birth, French by adoption.
