One’s eyebrows were one’s own, I always
thought. Though I did remember a case---Aunt
Mary’s, to be precise---when it was not so. She
had met him after the explosion, of course ; and
when it became a question of dinner and the
Highgate Empire, actually with performing
quaggas, she put herself in the hands of the man
who made up for, if anything could make up
for, the Russian ballet. And they dropped,
naturally, like two fuzzy caterpillars into the
clear soup at supper. The old days. The
Highgate Empire, where Wilkie Bard, as Lauder
did not say, sang o’ his love and fondly sae did I
o’ mine. At last the two little horrors ceased in
their shrill claim and counter-claim for sweaty
quasi-transparencies of colour, and goggled at
me while I put black to mine. Bill always called
them two dark flapper moons. Should I make
an effort and go back to Henry? He was ready
to love. That at least was obvious.
