Pleeping out, he said Vanya Tosca let herself into the studio. The model listened for a second; then, hearing Clayton's step on the stair, she went into the adjoining room, as though to make ready for the pose.
Mob strode into the studio and crused to the clothes closet to hang up his hat and street coat. He stepped back in surprise at sight of Stanley. Harold, with a finger to his lips, enjoined silence. Bob, thoroughly mystified, pushed the door almost shut and went to the telephone.
There, calling up the importer from whom he had bought the vase, he said: "Be sure to have the Cloisonne jar here at 3 this afternoon, please. Dr. Montrose is to be her."
At 3 to give his opinion on it.
Bob, leaving the telephone, went into his apartment for a canvas. The instant the coast was clear, Vanya slipped out of the dressing room and out of the studio. Bob returned with the canvas, looked to see no one was in the dressing room, and then went again to his clothes closet. To his astonishment, it was empty. Stanley had departed, in Vanya's wake.
Instead of going to his office, Harold returned home. He spent the bulk of the morning in the now familiar task of making up as Pierre La Hue.
Thence, he went downtown to the shop.
