"Before our removal to Paris we had already made several journeys abroad.

We had undertaken several voyages abroad before our relocation to Paris . As soon as we had enough saved up from the sales of our paintings – after all we were quite humble in our standards – we had driven southward to study, to paint and to get to know the world. And only after having used the last of our travel funds had we gone on our way back to Copenhagen .

ts-trc07p001

Allerede inden vi flyttede til Paris havde vi flere Gange foretaget Udenlandsrejser. Vore Fordringer var meget beskedne, og saa snart vi havde faaet solgt nok til, at vi havde kunnet spare nogle Penge sammen, drog vi sydpaa for at studere og lære Verden at kende.

"Even before we moved to Paris we had made several travels abroad. Our demands were very modest, and as soon as we had sold enough to save up some money, we went south to study and get to know the world.

d1-trc08p001

Bereits vor unserer Übersiedelung nach Paris hatten wir mehrere Auslandsreisen unternommen. Sobald wir aus unseren Bilderverkäufen genügende Ersparnisse beisammen hatten – wir waren recht bescheiden in unseren Ansprüchen –, waren wir jedesmal südwärts gefahren, um zu studieren, zu malen und die Welt kennenzulernen. Aber auf all diesen Reisen war Lili ,nicht mitgewesen'. Es gab zu viel Neues zu erleben, als daß Grete und ich Zeit gefunden hätten, uns mit ihr zu beschäftigen. Sobald wir aber wieder in unserem heimischen Atelier waren, tauchte sie auf – und dann mußten wir jedesmal feststellen, daß wir sie eigentlich entbehrt hatten . . .

Whenever we were able to spare sufficient money from the sale of our pictures—we were extremely frugal in our mode of living—we had travelled South, to study, to paint, and to become acquainted with the world. Lili had not been with us upon any of these trips. There were too many new things to see for Grete and I to find any time to devote to her. But as soon as we found ourselves again in our native studio , she reappeared—and then we had to acknowledge every time that we had really missed her.

Aber sobald wir wieder in unserem heimischen Atelier waren, tauchte sie wieder auf. Und dann mussten wir jedesmal feststellen, dass wir sie eigentlich entbehrt hatten. Fast ein ganzes Jahr hatten wir in Italien verbracht ... ohne Lili . -

But Lili hadn't "come along" with us on these trips. There were too many new things to experience for Grete and me to busy ourselves with her.

ts-trc07p002

But as soon as we were back to our atelier at home, she resurfaced. And then we had to realize each time that we had missed her. We had spent almost an entire year in Italy ... without Lili .-

d1c08p001

Først naar vi ikke havde flere Penge tilbage, vendte vi atter Næsen hjemad. Paa alle disse Rejser havde Lili ikke været med. Grete og jeg oplevede saa meget nyt, at vi ikke havde Tid til at beskæftige os med hende. I et helt Aar levede vi saaledes i Italien , kun opfyldt af Sydens Skønhed, der for os Nordens Børn er som det vidunderligste Eventyr. Det var det lykkeligste Aar, Grete og jeg levede sammen ...... Men saa snart vi igen var hjemme i Atelieret, dukkede Lili atter frem, og vi begreb ikke, at vi havde kunnet undvære hende.

"Only when we had no more money left, did we turn our faces towards home. On all these journeys, Lili had not been along. Grete and I had so many new experiences that we did not have time to concern ourselves with her. Thus we lived for a whole year in Italy , only filled with the beauty of the South that to us children of the North is like the most wonderful fairy-tale. It was the happiest year that Grete and I lived together ...... But as soon as we were back home in the studio, Lili appeared again and we could not comprehend that we had been able to do without her.

"We spent almost a whole year in Italy without Lili . It was the most carefree year which I ever passed with Grete . The romance of the South was an indescribably splendid revelation to us two children of the North.

"How could we find time to . . . play? Grete was at that time serenity itself. In Italy 's wonderland she never felt oppressed. She needed no distraction. Hence Lili was not conjured up by her.

"And yet Lili was probably more than ever closely bound up with us both. Only it was no longer a pastime. About that time I began to undergo a change in myself, the nature of which I did

not then realize. I first became aware of it through my influence upon others . . . in Italy just at that time. In Florence an unfortunate person approached me. He was a wealthy foreigner . One day, after he had been dogging me for weeks, he spoke to me and suggested that I should take up my quarters in his villa, where I could pursue my studies as a painter to my heart's content. I declined politely, but very firmly. After that I saw him frequently. I was always with a lady, either with Grete or in the company of a strikingly beautiful Sicilian . A very little more and I should have been obliged to challenge this poor creature to a duel with pistols.

Und doch war Lili wohl inniger mit uns beiden zusammen denn je. Nur war Es kein Spiel mehr ... Mit mir selber begann zu jener Zeit eine Veränderung ~~vor zu ge~~ vorzugehen, ohne dass ich mir dessen damals recht bewusst wurde.

Eines Tages, nachdem er mich ein paar Wochen auf Schritt und Tritt verfolgt hatte, sprach er mich an und machte mir den Vorschlag, in einer Villa Wohnung zu nehmen. Nach Herzens Lust würde ich dort meine Studien als Maler betreiben konnen. Jch lehnte höflich, aber sehr entschieden ab. Ich sah ihn dann öfters wieder. Immer war ich in Damengesellschaft, entweder zusammen mit Grete , oder aber in Begleitung einer auffallend schönen Sizilianerin . Es hätte nicht viel gefehlt, so hätte ich diesen armen Menschen vor die Pistole fordern müssen.

And yet Lili was closer together with us than ever before. Just now it no longer was a game... I started to undergo a change of my own, without being quite aware of it at the time. This was demonstrated by how I affected others ... especially back then in Italy . I was approached by an unlucky fellow in Florence . A very rich foreigner . One day, after he had followed my every step, he spoke to me, making the suggestion I come to live in his villa. I could pursue my painterly studies there as much as I wished to. I refused politely, but very vehemently. I saw him a couple of times after that. I was always in the company of ladies, either with Grete or in company of an exceptionally beautiful Sicilian . It almost came to the point of my having to challenge the poor creature at gunpoint.

ts-trc07p007

Men nu var Lili ikke mere noget Legetøj ...... Der var sket en Forandring med mig; jeg havde ikke selv mærket den, men jeg opdagede den gennem dens Virkning paa andre. I Florens havde en rig Hollænder forfulgt mig, saa jeg nær var blevet nødt til at udfordre ham, og i Rom vilde en amerikansk Millionær absolut have mig med til Ægypten ...... Det var Lili , der gjorde sin Indflydelse gældende i mig.

"Never before had I been placed in such delicate situations. Why this happened just then in Italy I only realized much later.

...... Men nu var vi altsaa i Paris . Vi slog os ned paa venstre Seinebred i et af de mange smaa Hoteller omkring École des Beaux-Arts . Vi fik to hyggelige, lyserødt og graahvidt tapetserede Værelser med Udsigt ud over en gammel Have . I det ene var en hemmelighedsfuld Alkove med rødblomstrede Gardiner. Hotellets Faktotum, Jean , fortalte os, at Oscar Wilde havde henlevet sine sidste Dage i de to Stuer, og at han var død i Alkoven bag de rødblomstrede Gardiner. Medens han fortalte, løb Taarerne ned ad hans ubarberede Kinder. Vi forstod Grunden til hans Sorg, da han oplyste, at Digteren ofte havde givet ham tyve Francs til at købe Cigaretter til sig og

aldrig havde ønsket at faa Penge tilbage. Denne Oplysning indeholdt aabenbart ogsaa et fint Vink til os ...... Her i Oscar Wilde s stille Stuer sad Grete og jeg ofte om Aftenen ved det brede Vindue ud mod den gamle Have og læste hans Værker, indtil vi kunde dem udenad ......

"...... But now we were in Paris . We settled down on the left bank of the Seine in one of the many small hotels around École des Beaux-Arts . We had two cosy pink and gray-white wallpapered rooms with a view of an old garden . In one of them was a secretive bed recess with red flowered curtains. The factotum of the hotel, Jean , told us that Oscar Wilde had spent his last days in the two rooms and that he had died in the bed recess behind the red flowered curtains. While he was speaking, tears ran down his unshaven cheeks. We understood the reason for his sorrow as he informed us that the poet had often given him twenty francs to buy cigarettes for him and

never asked for change. Evidently this information also contained a delicate hint to us ...... Here in Oscar Wilde 's quiet rooms Grete and I often sat at the wide window facing the old garden in the evening and read his works until we knew them by heart.

"Two pleasant rooms, painted bright red and greyish colours, were assigned to us. One of them overlooked an old neglected garden, and had a mysterious alcove, with red-diapered curtains. The factotum of the hotel , Jean by name, lost no time in telling us that Oscar Wilde had spent his last days in these two rooms. He had died in the alcove with the red-diapered curtains. As Jean was telling us this, the tears ran down his ill-shorn cheeks. He had reason to regret Oscar Wilde 's death. Many a twenty-franc piece had been given him by the unfortunate poet, with which to buy a few sous' worth of cigarettes, and he had never been asked for the change, he added, as a delicate hint to us.

Everyone came to love her but treated Lili and me very differently. Grete 's female friends, who were rather ceremonial with me, hugged Lili and addressed her familiarly

'uniquely spectacular frame of décor,' a revue for which Tempete had written the words and music was to be performed by the other artists – painters, sketch artists and sculptors. Grete worked extremely hard and late in the afternoon everything came together smoothly. The only thing missing was a young woman painter who could not arrive before the evening train. But she was not on it, and it caused a great commotion. Tempete was beside himself, the part was not big, but it could not be cut out due to the 'thread' of the revue.

With lightning rapidity she sketched the stage scenery for the revue, which had been composed by Jean Tempête himself.

Sie entwarf im Fluge die "kongeniale Bühnenausstattung" zu der Revue, deren Verfasser Jehan Tempéte selber war, der wie auch der "Komponist", ein bekannter junger Lyriker, und der Autor der Gesangtexte, ein hoffnungsvoller "aufgehender Tenorstern" mit uns anderen, Malern, Zeichnern, Bildhauern und dergleichen sofort von der energischen Grete "eingespannt" wurden, damit die Revueausstattung sich "sehen lassen konnte".

Sie waren ein ~~ryt~~ rhytmisch vollendet für einander abgestinmtes Tanzpaar. Sie sprachen während des Tanzens kein Wort mit einander. Sie tanzten ganz dem Rhytmus des Tanzes hingegeben.

stood before her, making a silly curtsey, then showed the world's most serious face, pinched his monocle even closer to his eye, even blushed a little and then said almost solemnly: "Mademoiselle, may I, as soon as you have relaxed a little, ask for the honor to be your dance partner a couple of times in a row please?"

Lili looked at him somewhat puzzled, nodded. And they danced many times during that night. They were both of the same height. They were a rhythmically perfect pair of dancers. They did not exchange a word while dancing. They danced fully having given themselves to the rhythm.

in the shade. So we oftentimes had to shift our days to nights, which was even more amusing. Because after ten the little town was dark, whether it was lit up by the full moon or under a new moon. Balgencie 's so-called high society kept their distance from us, with the exception of Monsieur René , the deputy mayor. The "actual" head of the town had been forced to offload the business of running the town onto Monsieur René 's broad shoulders due to a chronic stomach ailment. Monsieur René as everyone in town called him, was a bachelor. He took part in all our nightly roamings through the closer and farther surroundings of "his" town, and it was he who told the town councilmembers during a solemn meeting in city hall that he planned on having a "town festival" for charity at the end of the month, with the help of the "Paris gang." The suggestion was unanimously accepted. The next day formal invitations to work out the festival's program went out to Jehan Tempéte , Grete and me as well as to a few other "celebrities" of our gang. And we decided to have a water pageant, with flower decorated boats down the Loire . And Cupid 's boat sailing at the head of the gondola pageant.

Termometret viste 35 Grader i Skyggen, og ofte gjorde vi derfor Nat til Dag, og badede om Natten i Floden. Det gode Selskab i Balgencie holdt sig forarget paa Afstand, kun den fungerende Borgmester, Monsieur René , som hele Byen kaldte ham, en lystig gammel Ungkarl, tog sig venligt af os. Det var ogsaa ham, der i Byraadet foreslog, at man med Pariserbandens Hjælp skulde lave en Sommerfest til Fordel for Byens Fattige. Hans Forslag blev vedtaget, og Banden var straks villig. Tempete udarbejdede et Festprogram med Loire som Festens Centrum. Der skulde være en Korso af blomstersmykkede Baade. Den første skulde være Amor s Baad, og den skulde Grete arrangere. Monsieur René stillede sin Vinkælder og en bred gammel Pram til Raadighed for Festen, og det lykkedes virkelig Grete at forvandle Prammen til en pragtfuld Kærlighedsgondol med et hjerteformet rødt Sejl, der svulmede i Vinden ...... Floden er ved Balgencie meget smuk, men der er Hvirvelvinde, som gør Sejladsen ret farlig. Amor maatte derfor for en Sikkerheds Skyld kunne svømme, og da jeg fra min Barndom havde været en udmærket Svømmer, maatte jeg forestille Amor , det vil sige — det var Lili , som overtog Amor s Rolle ...... Claude Lejeune , der i Mellemtiden var blevet vor nære Ven, og som ogsaa kunde svømme, blev Amor s Gondolier.

"In August the Paris gang conquered the little town which received it half in admiration and half in consternation. The thermometer showed 35 degrees Celsius in the shade, and therefore we often turned night into day and bathed in the river at night. The society of Balgencie kept its distance, only the acting mayor, Monsieur René , as he was called by the whole town, a cheerful old bachelor, kindly looked after us. It was also he who in the town council suggested that a summer festival for the benefit of the town's poor should be organised with the assistance of the Paris gang. His proposal was approved, and the gang was immediately willing. Tempete worked out a festival programme with the Loire as the centre of the festival. There was to be a procession of boats decorated with flowers. The first was to be Cupid 's boat and this Grete was to organise. Monsieur René made his wine cellar and an old barge available to the festival, and Grete really succeeded in transforming the barge into a splendid love gondola with a heart-shaped red sail swelling in the wind ...... The river is very beautiful at Balgencie , but there are whirlwinds that make sailing quite dangerous. Therefore Cupid had to be able to swim for safety's sake, and as since childhood I had been a very good swimmer, I had to represent Cupid – that is, it was Lili who took over the role of Cupid ...... Claude Lejeune , who in the meantime had become our close friend and who could also swim, became Cupid 's gondolier.

shabby boat was at length transformed into Cupid 's festive gondola—the sail was a large red heart—and the launching had taken place, it transpired that, owing to its splendid, as well as very weighty, equipment, the craft was extremely difficult to steer. At Balgencie the Loire is very impetuous, and treacherous winds render a sail rather dangerous. It was therefore necessary for Cupid , as well as his attendant, to be strong swimmers. As no practised and daring swimmer could be discovered among the young ladies of the town, Jean Tempête very discreetly asked me if I could not assume Cupid 's rôle, provided Claude Lejeune was assigned to me as squire. I was known to be an excellent swimmer. I promised on behalf of Lili and also of Claude , who had meanwhile become a good friend of ours.

Monsieur René gave us an old, broad barge as well as a small warehouse on the river including its wine cellar. When the pretty shabby boat had been transformed into Cupid 's festive gondola – a giant, red heart was the sail – and after launch took place, it became clear that the vehicle had become somewhat difficult to steer, with the glorious yet heavy decorations on board. The Loire is quite torrential near Balgencie , treacherous winds make sailing dangerous. So Cupid 's boat had to be manned by a Cupid capable of swimming well and a similarly capable attendant... And since there was no courageous, capable swimmer among the young ladies of town – Monsieur René had walked his feet sore – I was asked by Jehan Tempéte very discreetly if Lili could not take up the role of Cupid , if Claude Lejenne was assigned to her as "quiver squire." I was known as an excellent swimmer. I agreed in Lili 's name. Claude , too, who had become a very good friend to us, was ready for the role of the squire.

Alle Einwohner des Städtchens kannten mich und freuten sich, ihre Häuschen und Gärten und sich selber auf meinen Bildern, die hinterdrein in den Herbstausstellungen von Paris hängen durften, wiederzufinden. Niemand aber in dem Städtchen ahnte, wer die schlanke Pariserin war, die ab und zu mit Grete und Claude durch die Gassen des Städtchens und hinaus aufs Land radelte. Diese Fahrten gehörten zu den frohesten Erinnerungen Lili s. In aller Herrgottsfrühe, wo noch kein Schlafkammerfenster sich richtig geöffnet hatte, zogen die drei hinaus in die Sommermorgenwelt. Und erst spät abends, wenn das Städtchen längst schlafen gegangen war, kehrten sie müde und froh wieder zurück . . .

All the inhabitants of the town knew me and were delighted to recognize their houses and gardens and themselves in pictures of mine, which might subsequently hang in the autumn exhibitions of Paris . But nobody in the town suspected the identity of the slender Parisienne who now and then strolled with Grete and Claude through the alleys of the town and out into the country. These trips were among Lili 's most delightful recollections. In the early dawn, before any bedroom window was opened, the three of them

would march out into the summer morning, and not until late in the evening, when the town had long since retired to rest, did they return, tired and happy. Claude was then Grete 's and Lili 's most delightful cavalier; he was their brother and protector, and the friendship between them became ever more intimate and permanent, a friendship which stood every test.

Ein Jahr nach dem andern fanden wir alle uns im August in Balgencie wieder ein. Feste und Ausflüge folgten einander. Und hier in Balgencie gewöhnte ich mich allmählich an ~~Lill~~ Lili s und mein Doppeldasein. Lili nahm an den Festen und Ausflügen teil. Jch dagegen malte sehr fleissig, schwamm und trank mit den Honoratioren des Städtchens manche Flasche Wein. Jch hatte hier viele, viele Freunde. Alle Einwohner des Städtchens kannten mich und freuten sich, ihre Häuschen und Gärten und sich selber auf meinen Bildern, die hinterdrein in den Herbstausstellungen von Paris ~~zu finden waren~~ hängen durften , wiederzufinden. Alle kannten mich. Und ich kannte alle. Wir waren Freunde. Niemand aber in dem Städtchen ahnte, wer die schlanke Pariserin war die ab und zu mit Grete und Claude durch die Gassen des Städtchens und hinaus aufs Land radelte. Diese Fahrten gehören zu den frohesten Erinnerungen Lili s. In aller Herrgottsfrühe, wo noch kein Schlafkammerfenster sich richtig geöffnet hatte, zogen die Drei hinaus in die strahlende Sommermorgenwelt. Und erst spät abends, wenn das Städtchen längst schlafen gegangen war, kehrten sie müde und froh wieder zurück ... Claude war dann der entzückenste Ritter von Grete und Lili , er war ihr Bruder und Beschützer, und die Freundschaft zwischen ihnen wurde immer inniger und dauerhafter, eine Freundschaft, die jede Prüfung bestand.

Year after year we found ourselves back in Balgencie in August. Festivities and excursions followed each other. And here in Balgencie I slowly grew accustomed to Lili 's and my double existence. Lili took part in festivities and excursions. I on the other hand painted very diligently, swam and drank quite some bottles of wine with the town's luminaries. I had many, many friends here. All inhabitants of the small town knew me and looked forward to seeing their homes and gardens and themselves in my paintings, which afterwards would be allowed to be shown in the fall exhibitions of Paris . Everyone knew me. And I knew everyone. We were friends. Nobody in the little town sensed who the slender Parisienne really was, who now and then rode her bicycle through the small streets of town and into the countryside with Grete and Claude . These rides are among Lili 's happiest memories. At dawn, before any bedroom window had been cracked open, the three went out into the shining world of summer mornings. And they returned only late into the evening, when the little town had already gone to sleep, tired and happy... Claude then was the most delightful knight of Grete and Lili , he was their brother and protector, and the friendship between them grew closer and more lasting, a friendship that weathered every test.

ts-trc07p079

Flere Aar igennem holdt vi Ferie i Balgencie , og her vænnede jeg mig efterhaanden ganske til Lili s og min Dobbelttilværelse. Hun deltog i alle Fester og Udflugter og jeg malede flittigt, svømmede og tømte adskillige Flasker Vin sammen med Byens Borgere. Jeg havde faaet mange Venner og kendte alle i den lille By , hvor man var helt stolt ved Tanken om, at mine Billeder med Byens smaa Huse og Haver skulde hænge paa en Udstilling i Paris ...... Men ingen af de gode Borgere anede, hvem den slanke Pariserinde var, der ofte sammen med Claude og Grete tidlig om Morgenen spadserede gennem de smalle Gader for at tilbringe en dejlig Dag ude i Landet og først vende tilbage, naar alle Lys var slukkede, og Byen var gaaet til Ro.

"Through a number of years we spent our holiday in Balgencie , and here I gradually got used to Lili 's and my double life. She participated in all the parties and excursions and I applied myself to painting, swam and emptied several bottles of wine along with the inhabitants of the town. I had made many friends and knew everyone in the little town , where they were quite proud at the thought that my pictures of the town's small houses and gardens were to hang in an exhibition in Paris ...... But none of the good citizens had any idea who the slim Parisienne was who often walked with Claude and Grete through the narrow streets early in the morning to spend a lovely day in the country and return only when all the lights were turned off and the town had gone to bed.

Selbstverständlich wurde dieser ,Dreibund' auch in Paris fortgesetzt. Jeden Sonntag fand Claude sich ein. Dann war er den ganzen Tag über ,Gast des Atelier s'. Und einem ungeschriebenen Gesetz zufolge empfing Lili ihn stets an der Korridortür. War sie aber ein seltenes

Mal ferngeblieben, und hatte ich die Tür ihm zu öffnen, so begrüßten wir uns sehr kameradschaftlich, er gab mir die Hand, fragte auch nach diesem und jenem, aber ich konnte ihm doch seine Enttäuschung anmerken. Im Atelier betrachtete er dann, wenn auch recht flüchtig, neue Bilder von mir, Politik und dergleichen wurde gesprächsweise berührt, auch die neuesten Pariser Skandale. Aber es dauerte nicht lange, höchstens eine Viertelstunde, und Claude blickte mich etwas unsicher an. ,Ich habe Grete noch gar nicht guten Tag gesagt' Und schon war er in der kleinen Küche bei Grete .

"It went without saying that this 'triple alliance' continued in Paris . Every Sunday Claude made his appearance, when he was the guest of the studio for the whole of the day. And in accordance with an unwritten law, Lili always received him at the door in the corridor. If, however, she was, by a rare chance, absent, and I had to open the door to him, we greeted each other in a very comradely way; he gave me his hand, asked about this and that; but I could always remark his disappointment. In the studio he would then look at my pictures, although quite cursorily; politics and similar topics were touched on in conversation and even the latest Parisian scandal. But it did not last long, at the most a quarter of an hour, and then Claude would look at me somewhat uncertainly. 'I have not yet said good day to Grete .' And then he would disappear into the little kitchen to join Grete .

Of course this "triple alliance" was continued in Paris . Claude came by every Sunday. He then was "guest of the atelier " all day. And following an unwritten law, Lili always received him at the door. If on a rare chance she had stayed away, and if I was the one opening the door for him, then we greeted each other

companionably, shook hands, and he asked me about this and that, but I could still sense his disappointment. In the atelier he then observed, if only fleetingly, my new paintings. Politics and such were touched upon in conversation, and also the latest Paris scandals. But it did not take long, maybe fifteen minutes, and my dear Claude looked at me a little meekly. "Will you please excuse me, I have not said hello to Grete yet." And with that he was in the small kitchen with Grete .

ts-trc07p080

Venskabet med Claude blev i disse Ferier endnu inderligere og fortsattes naturligvis i Paris . Claude tilbragte næsten hver Søndag i Atelieret og det var en stiltiende Aftale, at det var Lili , der aabnede Entrédøren for ham ...... Var det en sjælden Gang mig, var han tydelig nok skuffet. Han trykkede kammeratlig min Haand, saa paa mine nye Billeder, og vi talte nogle Øjeblikke om Politik eller noget andet, indtil han sagde: »Jeg har endnu ikke sagt Goddag til Grete « ...... og gik ud i Køkkenet ...... Men var Lili der, veg han ikke fra hendes Side.

d1c08p039

"The friendship with Claude became even deeper during these holidays and was of course continued in Paris . Claude spent nearly every Sunday in the studio, and it was a tacit agreement that it was Lili who opened the door for him ..... If, on a rare occasion, it was me, he was evidently disappointed. He shook my hand in a friendly manner, looked at my new paintings, and we talked for a few moments about politics or something else, until he said: 'I haven't said hello to Grete ' ...... and went into the kitchen ...... But if Lili was there, he did not leave her side.

" Claude had come to see us one weekday evening. Grete was not at home. I then suggested to him that we should visit some amusing dancing-bar

in the Quartier Latin together. We landed in the Gipsy Bar , where Claude ordered the speciality of the house, namely a coffin-nail. This cocktail was not unworthy of its very promising name. A frequent repetition of the enjoyment of this drink during a day or a night is calculated to curtail considerably our sojourn here below. Perhaps it was this drink which prompted us to try out a new dance which Claude had recently seen somewhere. Moreover, it was the first time that he had danced with me . We had scarcely taken the first step before the manager made a dash at us and requested us to stop dancing immediately. The gentlemen must excuse him; he knew us both very well, but in his establishment, unfortunately, they did not allow two gentlemen to dance together.

Very soon after we had gone through the first steps, the " manager ," the "waiter," came rushing towards us and pleaded us to immediately stop this dance.

Lili war manchmal zusammen mit Claude und Grete Gast eines recht mondänen Künstlerklubs gewesen. Die Klubabende bestehen für gewöhnlich aus einem Essen mit anschließendem Ball. Eines Abends, Grete war müde, ging Lili auf eindringliches Bitten von Claude allein mit ihm dorthin. Eine Dame, die zu unserem intimen Kreise gehörte und sowohl mich wie Lili kannte, – im übrigen ahnte niemand im Klub etwas von unserem Doppeldasein, – machte sich an diesem Abend ein Pläsier daraus, Lili mit einigen Herren, darunter ihrem Vetter , einem nicht mehr ganz jungen Grafen bekanntzumachen. Bisher hatte Lili sich gesträubt, an diesen für sie seltenen Klubabenden neue Bekanntschaften zu machen. Sie war glücklich, mit Claude tanzen zu dürfen, ein Mehr bedurfte sie nicht. Doch ehe sie sich wehren konnte, hatte dieu Freundin ihren Vetter herangeholt: ,Mein Vetter le Comte de Trempe . . . la Baronne Lili de Courtaud !' Der sehr galante Graf forderte Lili sofort zu einem Foxtrott auf. Dem einen Tanz folgten mehrere. Lili konnte sich nicht wehren. Claude nickte ihr belustigt zu. So kam es, daß Lili mit ihrem neuen Kavalier bis tief in die Nacht hinein tanzte. Als sie sich endlich völlig erschöpft von ihm ,für diesmal' verabschiedete, bat er mit dem feierlichsten Gesicht der Welt um die Auszeichnung, ‚ Madame la Baronne ', die, wie ihm seine Kusine zugeflüstert hatte, ein paar Tage bei Grete zu Besuch sei, in den nächsten Tagen seine Aufwartung zu machen. Was konnte Lili anders machen, als gute Miene zum bösen Spiel? . . .

"Together with Claude and Grete , Lili was sometimes invited to a smart artists' club. The club evening usually consisted of a meal followed by a ball. One evening, Grete being tired, Lili went there alone with Claude , at his urgent request. A lady who was an intimate friend of ours and knew me as well as Lili —for the rest, nobody in the club suspected our double existence—made a point this evening of introducing Lili to a number of gentlemen, including her cousin , a nobleman who was no longer quite young. Hitherto Lili had declined to make fresh acquaintances on these club evenings, which were rare events for her. She was happy enough dancing with Claude , and did not need any other partners. Yet, before she could decline, her friend fetched her cousin: 'My cousin, le Comte de Trempe

— la Baronne Lili de Cortaud .' The gallant Count immediately challenged Lili to a fox-trot. This dance was followed by several more. Lili could not refuse. Claude nodded to her merrily. Thus it happened that Lili danced with her new cavalier until far into the night. When at length, completely exhausted, she said farewell to him 'for the present', with the most solemn face in the world he begged ' Madame la Baronne ', who, as his cousin had whispered, was staying with Grete for a few days, to allow him to pay his respects to her the following day. What else could Lili do than make the best of a bad job?

Together with Grete and Claude Lili was the guest of a quite fashionable artist club . The club nights usually were a dinner with subsequent ball. One night Lili went there alone, following Claude 's incessant pleading, when Grete was too tired. A lady belonging to our closest, most intimate circle , who knew Lili as well as me, was also there. Nobody in the club had any idea of our double life. She made it her pleasure for the night to introduce Lili to a couple of gentlemen, among which was her cousin , a no longer quite so young count and hussar officer . Until now, Lili had bristled to make new

acquaintances on these club nights, which were rare for her. She was happy being allowed to dance with Claude . She did not need anything else to be happy. But before she could defend herself, the girlfriend had brought over her cousin: "My cousin, le Compte de Trempe .... La Baronne Lili de Courtaud! " The very elegant count immediately asked Lili to dance a foxtrot with him. Several more dances followed that one. Lili could not defend herself. Claude just nodded along amusedly. And so it came that Lili danced the night away with her new cavalier. As she exhaustedly said her goodbyes "for now," he, with the most solemn face in the world, asked for the award of being allowed to visit " Madame la Baronne " in the following days, who as his cousin had whispered to him, was visiting Grete for a few days. What else could Lili do but play along?...
