On the tea tray were some dainty, tempting sandwiches and some delicately cut wine glasses. Ireena accepted with real pleasure. "1 find it much more pleasant to talk and eat," went on Lechstein, "than to merely talk. And since I like good wine, too, I combine all three pleasures." "You are a very interesting man," said Ireena. "Thank you, Miss Delmar. That is a compliment. I contrive to avoid seeming dull to young people, young women, especially." He laughed a little at this. Then he continued. "Now regarding your desire to get into pictures, I wonder if you realize what that means. You are competing with thousands of girls as good looking as yourself. Some perhaps more so. You have won a beauty contest, it is quite true, but so have hundreds of others. Some are international beauties. It really means very little. Your only chance, my dear, is to get someone influential in the business to fight for you, to sponsor you . . . My child, I should like nothing better than to be responsible for your future. I can do something for you. Selwyn is a good boy, but he can't do you any good ... If you could love me, I would stop at nothing to make you a great star."
