She
began
to
think
of
the
actresses
who
notoriously
had
it
,
of
one
especially
,
Lydia
Mayne
,
whom
one
always
engaged
when
one
wanted
a
vamp
.
She
was
not
much
of
an
actress
,
but
in
certain
parts
she
was
wonderfully
effective
.
Julia
was
a
great
mimic
,
and
now
she
began
to
do
an
imitation
of
Lydia
Mayne
Her
eyelids
drooped
sensually
over
her
eyes
as
Lydia
s
did
and
her
body
writhed
sinuously
in
her
dress
.
She
got
into
her
eyes
the
provoking
indecency
of
Lydia
s
glance
and
into
her
serpentine
gestures
that
invitation
which
was
Lydia
s
speciality
.
She
began
to
speak
in
Lydia
s
voice
,
with
the
lazy
drawl
that
made
every
remark
she
uttered
sound
faintly
obscene
.
"
Oh
,
my
dear
man
,
I
ve
heard
that
sort
of
thing
so
often
.
I
don
t
want
to
make
trouble
between
you
and
your
wife
.
Why
won
t
men
leave
me
alone
?

It
was
a
cruel
caricature
that
Julia
gave
.
It
was
quite
ruthless
.
It
amused
her
so
much
that
she
burst
out
laughing
.
"
Well
,
there
s
one
thing
,
I
may
not
have
any
sex
appeal
,
but
after
seeing
my
imitation
there
aren
t
many
people
who
d
think
Lydia
had
either
.
"
It
made
her
feel
much
better
.
Rehearsals
began
and
distracted
Julia
s
troubled
mind
.
The
revival
that
Michael
put
on
when
she
went
abroad
had
done
neither
very
well
nor
very
badly
,
but
rather
than
close
the
theatre
he
was
keeping
it
in
the
bill
till
Nowadays
was
ready
.
Because
he
was
acting
two
matinees
a
week
,
and
the
weather
was
hot
,
he
determined
that
they
should
take
rehearsals
easy
.
They
had
a
month
before
them
.

Though
Julia
had
been
on
the
stage
so
long
she
had
never
lost
the
thrill
she
got
out
of
rehearsing
,
and
the
first
rehearsal
still
made
her
almost
sick
with
excitement
.
It
was
the
beginning
of
a
new
adventure
.
She
did
not
feel
like
a
leading
lady
then
,
she
felt
as
gay
and
eager
as
if
she
were
a
girl
playing
her
first
small
part
.
But
at
the
same
time
she
had
a
delicious
sense
of
her
own
powers
.
Once
more
she
had
the
chance
to
exercise
them
.
At
eleven
o
clock
she
stepped
on
to
the
stage
.
The
cast
stood
about
idly
.
She
kissed
and
shook
hands
with
the
artists
she
knew
and
Michael
with
urbanity
introduced
to
her
those
she
did
not
.
She
greeted
Avice
Crich
-
ton
with
cordiality
.
She
told
her
how
pretty
she
was
and
how
much
she
liked
her
hat
;
she
told
her
about
the
lovely
frocks
she
had
chosen
for
her
in
Paris
.
"
Have
you
seen
Tom
lately
?
"
she
asked
.
