Old Scores (Chris Norgren 3) (1933) - Plot & Excerpts
This was a group affair, held in a large, sparsely furnished room at the back of the daylight basement, below Vachey's living quarters. Part storage area, part office for Marius Pepin, Vachey's secretary, the room had several irregular recesses in which were objects ranging from mattresses on their sides and folded card tables to broken Roman statuary. In the central area seven people sat in assorted chairs that had been arranged in a rough semicircle to face a plain wooden desk. A spare, balding man sitting to one side and a little behind the others motioned us with an imperious little snap of his fingers toward the only available seats, two folding metal chairs on the far right. I nodded to Clotilde Guyot, Vachey's gallery manager, who was sitting next to me clutching a balled handkerchief, her round face blotchy from weeping. Next to her was Froger, showing no signs of tears over the demise of his old adversary. He did look a little sickly, however; probably because he'd come to the same conclusion we had about the fate of the two paintings and was mourning his lost Léger.
