Briefly, Guavernius told Judy
that he would be delighted to train
her. He spoke of money himself,
and said that he would take no fee
until she was ready and had made
her debut. He was as kind as could
be. He said that she showed great
promise. but Of course she had
everything TO learn. She must be
prepared to work very hard and to
give up everything TO the demands
of her art.
She mentioned her livelihood as
a model, and he answered that al
though he would have preferred her
to do nothing, still IL vas as harm
less an occupation as she could fol-
low. provided she did not get over
tired. It would help TO preserve the
Elasticity OF her body. He quite un-
derstood her position. He hoped she
would take every opportunity OF
watching fine dancing.
At the end he told her, with a
little chuckle, that she could not al
ways expect such music as she had
danced TO today. Perhaps she did
not know that the young man was
Gregor G~ossteivitsch. Judy was
deeply abashed as he pronounced
the name Of the greatest living
