42 SODOM AND GOMORRAH "I wish you'd trust me and quit worrying," he replied irritably. "When I see what I consider a good opportunity for you, I'll snatch it up. If you think you can do better with someone else, just let me know and I'll get out of your way." This always terrified Ireena into making elaborate assurances that she trusted him implicitly and that she knew that he was the best friend she had. However, one day when he repeated the old formula she surprised him by bursting into tears. "I don't believe," she said, "that you ever mean to do anything for me. You've just taken advantage of my helpless position and ignorance of the real conditions to satisfy yourself with me. Oh, Selwyn, you've got to stick by your promise to help me ! You've got to !" She began to cry so hard that Kent became frightened, fearing she would attract the attention of the neighbors. Her analysis of the situation was so precise that it left him for a time speechless. But not long. Kent could always find words suitable to any occasion. "Now, now," he said, trying to soothe her, "don't carry on this way. Save your emotions for pictures. I promised I would take you to Lechstein when the time was ready. All right, tomorrow night in my apartment you'll meet Lechstein. I'll have you both for dinner. That's all I can do, and from then on it's up to you."
