Foreword

Hosting the European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV 2020) was certainly an
exciting journey. From the 2016 plan to hold it at the Edinburgh International
Conference Centre (hosting 1,800 delegates) to the 2018 plan to hold it at Glasgow’s
Scottish Exhibition Centre (up to 6,000 delegates), we finally ended with moving
online because of the COVID-19 outbreak. While possibly having fewer delegates than
expected because of the online format, ECCV 2020 still had over 3,100 registered
participants.
Although online, the conference delivered most of the activities expected at a
face-to-face conference: peer-reviewed papers, industrial exhibitors, demonstrations,
and messaging between delegates. In addition to the main technical sessions, the
conference included a strong program of satellite events with 16 tutorials and 44
workshops.
Furthermore, the online conference format enabled new conference features. Every
paper had an associated teaser video and a longer full presentation video. Along with
the papers and slides from the videos, all these materials were available the week before
the conference. This allowed delegates to become familiar with the paper content and
be ready for the live interaction with the authors during the conference week. The live
event consisted of brief presentations by the oral and spotlight authors and industrial
sponsors. Question and answer sessions for all papers were timed to occur twice so
delegates from around the world had convenient access to the authors.
As with ECCV 2018, authors’ draft versions of the papers appeared online with
open access, now on both the Computer Vision Foundation (CVF) and the European
Computer Vision Association (ECVA) websites. An archival publication arrangement
was put in place with the cooperation of Springer. SpringerLink hosts the final version
of the papers with further improvements, such as activating reference links and sup-
plementary materials. These two approaches benefit all potential readers: a version
available freely for all researchers, and an authoritative and citable version with
additional benefits for SpringerLink subscribers. We thank Alfred Hofmann and
Aliaksandr Birukou from Springer for helping to negotiate this agreement, which we
expect will continue for future versions of ECCV.

Preface

Welcome to the proceedings of the European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV


2020). This is a unique edition of ECCV in many ways. Due to the COVID-19
pandemic, this is the first time the conference was held online, in a virtual format. This
was also the first time the conference relied exclusively on the Open Review platform
to manage the review process. Despite these challenges ECCV is thriving. The con-
ference received 5,150 valid paper submissions, of which 1,360 were accepted for
publication (27%) and, of those, 160 were presented as spotlights (3%) and 104 as orals
(2%). This amounts to more than twice the number of submissions to ECCV 2018
(2,439). Furthermore, CVPR, the largest conference on computer vision, received
5,850 submissions this year, meaning that ECCV is now 87% the size of CVPR in
terms of submissions. By comparison, in 2018 the size of ECCV was only 73% of
CVPR.
The review model was similar to previous editions of ECCV; in particular, it was
double blind in the sense that the authors did not know the name of the reviewers and
vice versa. Furthermore, each conference submission was held confidentially, and was
only publicly revealed if and once accepted for publication. Each paper received at least
three reviews, totalling more than 15,000 reviews. Handling the review process at this
scale was a significant challenge. In order to ensure that each submission received as
fair and high-quality reviews as possible, we recruited 2,830 reviewers (a 130%
increase with reference to 2018) and 207 area chairs (a 60% increase). The area chairs
were selected based on their technical expertise and reputation, largely among people
that served as area chair in previous top computer vision and machine learning con-
ferences (ECCV, ICCV, CVPR, NeurIPS, etc.). Reviewers were similarly invited from
previous conferences. We also encouraged experienced area chairs to suggest addi-
tional chairs and reviewers in the initial phase of recruiting.
Despite doubling the number of submissions, the reviewer load was slightly reduced
from 2018, from a maximum of 8 papers down to 7 (with some reviewers offering to
handle 6 papers plus an emergency review). The area chair load increased slightly,
from 18 papers on average to 22 papers on average.
Conflicts of interest between authors, area chairs, and reviewers were handled lar-
gely automatically by the Open Review platform via their curated list of user profiles.
Many authors submitting to ECCV already had a profile in Open Review. We set a
paper registration deadline one week before the paper submission deadline in order to
encourage all missing authors to register and create their Open Review profiles well on
time (in practice, we allowed authors to create/change papers arbitrarily until the
submission deadline). Except for minor issues with users creating duplicate profiles,
this allowed us to easily and quickly identify institutional conflicts, and avoid them,
while matching papers to area chairs and reviewers.
Papers were matched to area chairs based on: an affinity score computed by the
Open Review platform, which is based on paper titles and abstracts, and an affinity
viii Preface

score computed by the Toronto Paper Matching System (TPMS), which is based on the
paper’s full text, the area chair bids for individual papers, load balancing, and conflict
avoidance. Open Review provides the program chairs a convenient web interface to
experiment with different configurations of the matching algorithm. The chosen con-
figuration resulted in about 50% of the assigned papers to be highly ranked by the area
chair bids, and 50% to be ranked in the middle, with very few low bids assigned.
Assignments to reviewers were similar, with two differences. First, there was a
maximum of 7 papers assigned to each reviewer. Second, area chairs recommended up
to seven reviewers per paper, providing another highly-weighed term to the affinity
scores used for matching.
The assignment of papers to area chairs was smooth. However, it was more difficult
to find suitable reviewers for all papers. Having a ratio of 5.6 papers per reviewer with a
maximum load of 7 (due to emergency reviewer commitment), which did not allow for
much wiggle room in order to also satisfy conflict and expertise constraints. We
received some complaints from reviewers who did not feel qualified to review specific
papers and we reassigned them wherever possible. However, the large scale of the
conference, the many constraints, and the fact that a large fraction of such complaints
arrived very late in the review process made this process very difficult and not all
complaints could be addressed.
Reviewers had six weeks to complete their assignments. Possibly due to COVID-19
or the fact that the NeurIPS deadline was moved closer to the review deadline, a record
30% of the reviews were still missing after the deadline. By comparison, ECCV 2018
experienced only 10% missing reviews at this stage of the process. In the subsequent
week, area chairs chased the missing reviews intensely, found replacement reviewers in
their own team, and managed to reach 10% missing reviews. Eventually, we could
provide almost all reviews (more than 99.9%) with a delay of only a couple of days on
the initial schedule by a significant use of emergency reviews. If this trend is confirmed,
it might be a major challenge to run a smooth review process in future editions of
ECCV. The community must reconsider prioritization of the time spent on paper
writing (the number of submissions increased a lot despite COVID-19) and time spent
on paper reviewing (the number of reviews delivered in time decreased a lot pre-
sumably due to COVID-19 or NeurIPS deadline). With this imbalance the peer-review
system that ensures the quality of our top conferences may break soon.
Reviewers submitted their reviews independently. In the reviews, they had the
opportunity to ask questions to the authors to be addressed in the rebuttal. However,
reviewers were told not to request any significant new experiment. Using the Open
Review interface, authors could provide an answer to each individual review, but were
also allowed to cross-reference reviews and responses in their answers. Rather than
PDF files, we allowed the use of formatted text for the rebuttal. The rebuttal and initial
reviews were then made visible to all reviewers and the primary area chair for a given
paper. The area chair encouraged and moderated the reviewer discussion. During the
discussions, reviewers were invited to reach a consensus and possibly adjust their
ratings as a result of the discussion and of the evidence in the rebuttal.
After the discussion period ended, most reviewers entered a final rating and rec-
ommendation, although in many cases this did not differ from their initial recom-
mendation. Based on the updated reviews and discussion, the primary area chair then
Preface ix

made a preliminary decision to accept or reject the paper and wrote a justification for it
(meta-review). Except for cases where the outcome of this process was absolutely clear
(as indicated by the three reviewers and primary area chairs all recommending clear
rejection), the decision was then examined and potentially challenged by a secondary
area chair. This led to further discussion and overturning a small number of preliminary
decisions. Needless to say, there was no in-person area chair meeting, which would
have been impossible due to COVID-19.
Area chairs were invited to observe the consensus of the reviewers whenever
possible and use extreme caution in overturning a clear consensus to accept or reject a
paper. If an area chair still decided to do so, she/he was asked to clearly justify it in the
meta-review and to explicitly obtain the agreement of the secondary area chair. In
practice, very few papers were rejected after being confidently accepted by the
reviewers.
This was the first time Open Review was used as the main platform to run ECCV. In
2018, the program chairs used CMT3 for the user-facing interface and Open Review
internally, for matching and conflict resolution. Since it is clearly preferable to only use
a single platform, this year we switched to using Open Review in full. The experience
was largely positive. The platform is highly-configurable, scalable, and open source.
Being written in Python, it is easy to write scripts to extract data programmatically. The
paper matching and conflict resolution algorithms and interfaces are top-notch, also due
to the excellent author profiles in the platform. Naturally, there were a few kinks along
the way due to the fact that the ECCV Open Review configuration was created from
scratch for this event and it differs in substantial ways from many other Open Review
conferences. However, the Open Review development and support team did a fantastic
job in helping us to get the configuration right and to address issues in a timely manner
as they unavoidably occurred. We cannot thank them enough for the tremendous effort
they put into this project.
Finally, we would like to thank everyone involved in making ECCV 2020 possible
in these very strange and difficult times. This starts with our authors, followed by the
area chairs and reviewers, who ran the review process at an unprecedented scale. The
whole Open Review team (and in particular Melisa Bok, Mohit Unyal, Carlos
Mondragon Chapa, and Celeste Martinez Gomez) worked incredibly hard for the entire
duration of the process. We would also like to thank René Vidal for contributing to the
adoption of Open Review. Our thanks also go to Laurent Charling for TPMS and to the
program chairs of ICML, ICLR, and NeurIPS for cross checking double submissions.
We thank the website chair, Giovanni Farinella, and the CPI team (in particular Ashley
Cook, Miriam Verdon, Nicola McGrane, and Sharon Kerr) for promptly adding
material to the website as needed in the various phases of the process. Finally, we thank
the publication chairs, Albert Ali Salah, Hamdi Dibeklioglu, Metehan Doyran, Henry
Howard-Jenkins, Victor Prisacariu, Siyu Tang, and Gul Varol, who managed to
compile these substantial proceedings in an exceedingly compressed schedule. We
express our thanks to the ECVA team, in particular Kristina Scherbaum for allowing
open access of the proceedings. We thank Alfred Hofmann from Springer who again

serve as the publisher. Finally, we thank the other chairs of ECCV 2020, including in
particular the general chairs for very useful feedback with the handling of the program.

Abstract. Generating accurate descriptions for online fashion items is


important not only for enhancing customers’ shopping experiences, but
also for the increase of online sales. Besides the need of correctly present-
ing the attributes of items, the expressions in an enchanting style could
better attract customer interests. The goal of this work is to develop a
novel learning framework for accurate and expressive fashion captioning.
Different from popular work on image captioning, it is hard to identify
and describe the rich attributes of fashion items. We seed the description
of an item by first identifying its attributes, and introduce attribute-level
semantic (ALS) reward and sentence-level semantic (SLS) reward as
metrics to improve the quality of text descriptions. We further integrate
the training of our model with maximum likelihood estimation (MLE),
attribute embedding, and Reinforcement Learning (RL). To facilitate
the learning, we build a new FAshion CAptioning Dataset (FACAD),
which contains 993K images and 130K corresponding enchanting and
diverse descriptions. Experiments on FACAD demonstrate the effec-
tiveness of our model (Code and data: https://github.com/xuewyang/

1 Introduction

Motivated by the quick global growth of the fashion industry, which is worth tril-
lions of dollars, extensive efforts have been devoted to fashion related research
over the last few years. Those research directions include clothing attribute

prediction and landmark detection [24,36], fashion recommendation [40], item


retrieval [23,37], clothing parsing [7,14], and outfit recommendation [5,11,25].
Accurate and enchanting descriptions of clothes on shopping websites can
help customers without fashion knowledge to better understand the features
(attributes, style, functionality, benefits to buy, etc.) of the items and increase
online sales by enticing more customers. However, manually writing the descrip-
tions is a non-trivial and highly expensive task. Thus, the automatic generation
of descriptions is in urgent need. Since there exist no studies on generating fash-
ion related descriptions, in this paper, we propose specific schemes on Fashion
Captioning. Our design is built upon our newly created FAshion CAptioning
Dataset (FACAD), the first fashion captioning dataset consisting of over 993K
images and 130K descriptions with massive attributes and categories. Compared
with general image captioning datasets (e.g. MS COCO [4]), the descriptions of
fashion items have three unique features (as can be seen from Fig. 1), which
makes the automatic generation of captions a challenging task. First, fashion
captioning needs to describe the fine-grained attributes of a single item, while
image captioning generally narrates the objects and their relations in the image
(e.g., a person in a dress). Second, the expressions to describe the clothes tend to
be long so as to present the rich attributes of fashion items. The average length
of captions in FACAD is 21 words while a sentence in the MS COCO caption
dataset contains 10.4 words in average. Third, FACAD has a more enchanting
expression style than MS COCO to arouse greater customer interests. Sentences
like “pearly”, “so-simple yet so-chic”, “retro flair” are more attractive than the
plain or “undecorated” MS COCO descriptions.

Fig. 1. An example for Fashion Captioning. The images are of different perspec-
tives, colors and scenarios (shop-street). Other information contained include a title, a
description (caption) from a fashion expert, the color info and the meta info. Words in
color denotes the attributes used in sentence.

The image captioning problem has been widely studied and achieved great
progress in recent years. An encoder-decoder paradigm is generally followed
with a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) to encode the input images
and a Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) decoder to generate the descrip-
tions [2,15,17,18,39]. The encoder-decoder model is trained via maximum likeli-
hood estimation (MLE), which aims to maximize the likelihood of the next word
given the previous words. However, MLE-based methods will cause the model
to generate “unmatched” descriptions for the fashion items, where sentences
cannot precisely describe the attributes of items. This is due to two reasons.
Fashion Captioning 3

First, MLE treats the attribute and non-attribute words equally. Attribute words
are not emphasized and directly optimized in the training process, however, they
are more important and should be considered as the key parts in the evaluation.
Second, MLE maximizes its objective word-by-word without considering the
global semantic meaning of the sentence. This shortcoming may lead to gener-
ating a caption that wrongly describes the category of the item.
To generate better descriptions for fashion items, we propose two seman-
tic rewards as the objective to optimize and train our model using Reinforce-
ment Learning (RL). Specifically, we propose an attribute-level semantic (ALS)
reward with an attribute-matching algorithm to measure the consistency level of
attributes between the generated sentences and ground-truth. By incorporating
the semantic metric of attributes into our objective, we increase the quality of
sentence generation from the semantic perspective. As a second procedure, we
propose a sentence-level semantic (SLS) reward to capture the semantic mean-
ing of the whole sentence. Given a text classifier pretrained on the sentence
category classification task, the high level features of the generated description,
i.e., the category feature, should stay the same as the ground-truth sentence.
In this paper, we use the output probability of the generated sentence as the
groundtruth category as the SLS reward. Since both ALS reward and SLS reward
are non-differentiable, we seek RL to optimize them.
In addition, to guarantee that the image features extracted from the CNN
encoder are meaningful and correct, we design a visual attribute predictor to
make sure that the predicted attributes match the ground-truth ones. Then
attributes extracted are used as the condition in the LSTM decoder to produce
the words of description. This work has three main contributions.
1. We build a large-scale fashion captioning dataset FACAD of over 993K images
which are comprehensively annotated with categories, attributes and descrip-
tions. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first fashion captioning dataset
available. We expect that this dataset will greatly benefit the research com-
munity, in not only developing various fashion related algorithms and appli-
cations, but also helping visual language related studies.
2. We introduce two novel rewards (ALS and SLS) into the Reinforcement Learn-
ing framework to capture the semantics at both the attribute level and the
sentence level to largely increase the accuracy of fashion captioning.
3. We introduce a visual attribute predictor to better capture the attributes of
the image. The generated description seeded on the attribute information can
more accurately describe the item.

Fashion Studies. Most of the fashion related studies [5,7,23,24,33,36,40]
involve images. For outfit recommendation, Cucurull et al. [5] used a graph con-
volutional neural network to model the relations between items in a outfit set,
while Vasileva et al. [33] used a triplet-net to integrate the type information into
the recommendation. Wang et al. [36] used an attentive fashion grammar net-

erence, into clothing recommending systems. Text information has also been
exploited. Han et al. [11] used title features to regularize the image features
learned. Similar techniques were used in [33]. But no previous studies focus on
fashion captioning.

Image Captioning. Image captioning helps machine understand visual infor-


mation and express it in natural language, and has attracted increasingly inter-
ests in computer vision. State-of-the-art approaches [2,15,17,39] mainly use
encoder-decoder frameworks with attention to generate captions for images. Xu
et al. [39] developed soft and hard attention mechanisms to focus on different
regions in the image when generating different words. Johnson et al. [17] pro-
posed a fully convolutional localization network to generate dense regions of
interest and use the generated regions to generate captions. Similarly, Anderson
et al. [2] and Ma et al. [26] used an object detector like Faster R-CNN [29] or
Mask R-CNN [12] to extract regions of interests over which an attention mech-
anism is defined. Regardless of the methods used, image captioning generally
describes the contents based on the relative positions and relations of objects in
an image. Fashion Captioning, however, needs to describe the implicit attributes
of the item which cannot be easily localized by object detectors.
Recently, policy-gradient methods for Reinforcement Learning (RL) have
been utilized to train deep end-to-end systems directly on non-differentiable
metrics [38]. Commonly the output of the inference is applied to normalize the
rewards of RL. Ren et al. [30] introduced a decision-making framework utilizing
a policy network and a value network to collaboratively generate captions with
reward driven by visual-semantic embedding. Rennie et al. [31] used self-critical
sequence training for image captioning. The reward is provided using CIDEr [35]
metric. Gao et al. [8] extended [31] by running a n-step self-critical training. The
specific metrics used in RL approach are hard to generalize to other applications,
and optimizing specific metrics often impact other metrics severely. However, the
semantic rewards we introduce are general and effective in improving the quality
of caption generation.

3 The FAshion CAptioning Dataset


We introduce a new dataset - FAshion CAptioning Dataset (FACAD) - to study
captioning for fashion items. In this section, we will describe how FACAD is
built and what are its special properties.

3.1 Data Collection, Labeling and Pre-Processing


We mainly crawl fashion images with detailed information using Google Chrome,
which can be exploited for the fashion captioning task. Each clothing item has
on average 6–7 images of various colors and poses. The resolution of the images
is 1560 × 2392, much higher than other fashion datasets.

attention out of the corner of his eye. It was his cousin Hugo,
climbing down from the dickey.
"A very nice run," said Hugo with satisfaction. "I should say we made
pretty good time."
He radiated kindliness and satisfaction with all created things. That
John was looking at him in rather a peculiar way, and apparently
trying to say something, he did not seem to notice.
"A little refreshment would be delightful," he observed. "Dusty work,
sitting in dickeys. By the way, I got on to Pat on the 'phone before we
left, and there's no need to hurry. She's dining out and going to a
theatre to-night."
"What!" cried John, in agony.
"It's all right. Don't get the wind up. She's meeting us at eleven-
fifteen at the Mustard Spoon. I'll come on there from the fight and
we'll have a nice home evening. I'm still a member, so I'll sign you in.
And, what's more, if all goes well at the Albert Hall and Cyril
Warburton is half the man I think he is and I can get some sporting
stranger to bet the other way at reasonable odds, I'll pay the bill."
"You're very kind!"
"I try to be, John," said Hugo modestly. "I try to be. I don't think we
ought to leave it all to the Boy Scouts."

CHAPTER IV

I
A man whose uncle jerks him away from London as if he were
picking a winkle out of its shell with a pin and keeps him for months
and months immured in the heart of Worcestershire must inevitably
lose touch with the swiftly-changing kaleidoscope of metropolitan
night-life. Nothing in a big city fluctuates more rapidly than the status
of its supper-dancing clubs; and Hugo, had he still been a lad-about-
town in good standing, would have been aware that recently the
Mustard Spoon had gone down a good deal in the social scale.
Society had migrated to other, newer institutions, leaving it to
become the haunt of the lesser ornaments of the stage and the
Portuguese, the Argentines and the Greeks.
To John Carroll, however, as he stood waiting in the lobby, the place
seemed sufficiently gay and glittering. Nearly a year had passed
since his last visit to London: and the Mustard Spoon rather
impressed him. An unseen orchestra was playing with extraordinary
vigour, and from time to time ornate persons of both sexes drifted
past him into the brightly lighted supper room. Where an established
connoisseur of night clubs would have pursed his lips and shaken
his head, John was conscious only of feeling decidedly uplifted and
exhilarated.
But then he was going to see Pat again, and that was enough to
stimulate any man.
She arrived unexpectedly, at a moment when he had taken his eye
off the door to direct it in mild astonishment at a lady in an orange
dress who, doubtless with the best motives, had dyed her hair
crimson and was wearing a black-rimmed monocle. So absorbed
was he with this spectacle that he did not see her enter, and was
only made aware of her presence when there spoke from behind him
a clear little voice which, even when it was laughing at you, always
seemed to have in it something of the song of larks on summer
mornings and winds whispering across the fields in spring.
"Hullo, Johnnie."
The hair, scarlet though it was, lost its power to attract. The appeal of
the monocle waned. John spun round.
"Pat!"
She was looking lovelier than ever. That was the thing that first
presented itself to John's notice. If anybody had told him that Pat
could possibly be prettier than the image of her which he had been
carrying about with him all these months, he would not have believed
him. But so it was. Some sort of a female with plucked eyebrows and
a painted face had just come in, and she might have been put there
expressly for purposes of comparison. She made Pat seem so
healthy, so wholesome, such a thing of the open air and the clean
sunshine, so pre-eminently fit. She looked as if she had spent her
time at Le Touquet playing thirty-six holes of golf a day.
"Pat!" cried John, and something seemed to catch at his throat.
There was a mist in front of his eyes. His heart was thumping madly.
She extended her hand composedly. In her this meeting after long
separation had apparently stirred no depths. Her demeanour was
friendly, but matter-of-fact.
"Well, Johnnie. How nice to see you again. You're looking very
brown and rural. Where's Hugo?"
It takes two to hoist a conversation to an emotional peak. John
choked, and became calmer.
"He'll be here soon, I expect," he said.
Pat laughed indulgently.
"Hugo'll be late for his own funeral—if he ever gets to it. He said
eleven-fifteen and it's twenty-five to twelve. Have you got a table?"
"Not yet."
"Why not?"
"I'm not a member," said John, and saw in her eyes the scorn which
women reserve for male friends and relations who show themselves
wanting in enterprise. "You have to be a member," he said, chafing
under the look.
"I don't," said Pat with decision. "If you think I'm going to wait all night
for old Hugo in a small lobby with six draughts whizzing through it,
correct that impression. Go and find the head waiter and get a table
while I leave my cloak. Back in a minute."
John's emotions as he approached the head waiter rather resembled
those with which years ago he had once walked up to a bull in a
field, Pat having requested him to do so because she wanted to
know if bulls in fields really are fierce or if the artists who depict them
in comic papers are simply trying to be funny. He felt embarrassed
and diffident. The head waiter was a large, stout, smooth-faced man
who would have been better for a couple of weeks at Healthward Ho,
and he gave the impression of having disliked John from the start.
John said it was a nice evening. The head waiter did not seem to
believe him.
"Has—er—has Mr. Carmody booked a table?" asked John.
"No, monsieur."
"I'm meeting him here to-night."
The head waiter appeared uninterested. He began to talk to an
underling in rapid French. John, feeling more than ever an intruder,
took advantage of a lull in the conversation to make another attempt.
"I wonder.... Perhaps.... Can you give me a table?"
Most of the head waiter's eyes were concealed by the upper strata of
his cheeks, but there was enough of them left visible to allow him to
look at John as if he were something unpleasant that had come to
light in a portion of salad.
"Monsieur is a member?"
"Er—no."
"If you will please wait in the lobby, thank you."
"But I was wondering...."
"If you will wait in the lobby, please," said the head waiter, and,
dismissing John from the scheme of things, became gruesomely
obsequious to an elderly man with diamond studs, no hair, an
authoritative manner, and a lady in pink. He waddled before them
into the supper room, and Pat reappeared.
"Got that table?"
"I'm afraid not. He says...."
"Oh, Johnnie, you are maddening. Why are you so helpless?"
Women are unjust in these matters. When a man comes into a night
club of which he is not a member and asks for a table he feels that
he is butting in, and naturally is not at his best. This is not
helplessness, it is fineness of soul. But women won't see that.
"I'm awfully sorry."
The head waiter had returned, and was either doing sums or drawing
caricatures on a large pad chained to a desk. He seemed so much
the artist absorbed in his work that John would not have dreamed of
venturing to interrupt him. Pat had no such delicacy.
"I want a table, please," said Pat.
"Madame is a member?"
"A table, please. A nice, large one. I like plenty of room. And when
Mr. Carmody arrives tell him that Miss Wyvern and Mr. Carroll are
inside."
"Very good, madame. Certainly, madame. This way, madame."
Just as simple as that! John, making a physically impressive but
spiritually negligible tail to the procession, wondered, as he crossed
the polished floor, how Pat did these things. It was not as if she were
one of those massive, imperious women whom you would naturally
expect to quell head waiters with a glance. She was no Cleopatra,
no Catherine of Russia—just a slim, slight girl with a tip-tilted nose.
And yet she had taken this formidable magnifico in her stride, kicked
him lightly in the face, and passed on. He sat down, thrilled with a
worshipping admiration.
Pat, as always happened after one of her little spurts of irritability,
was apologetic.
"Sorry I bit your head off, Johnnie," she said. "It was a shame, after
you had come all this way just to see an old friend. But it makes me
so angry when you're meek and sheep-y and let people trample on
you. Still I suppose it's not your fault." She smiled across at him.
"You always were a slow, good-natured old thing, weren't you, like
one of those big dogs that come and bump their head on your lap
and snuffle. Poor old Johnnie!"
John felt depressed. The picture she had conjured up was not a
flattering one; and, as for this "Poor Old Johnnie!" stuff, it struck just
the note he most wanted to avoid. If one thing is certain in the
relations of the sexes, it is that the Poor Old Johnnies of this world
get nowhere. But before he could put any of these feelings into
words Pat had changed the subject.
"Johnnie," she said, "what's all this trouble between your uncle and
Father? I had a letter from Father a couple of weeks ago, and as far
as I could make out Mr. Carmody seems to have been trying to
murder him. What's it all about?"
Not so eloquently, nor with such a wealth of imagery as Colonel
Wyvern had employed in sketching out the details of the affair of the
dynamite outrage for the benefit of Chas. Bywater, Chemist, John
answered the question.
"Good heavens!" said Pat.
"I—I hope...." said John.
"What do you hope?"
"Well, I—I hope it's not going to make any difference?"
"Difference? How do you mean?"
"Between us. Between you and me, Pat."
"What sort of difference?"
John had his cue.
"Pat, darling, in all these years we've known one another haven't you
ever guessed that I've been falling more and more in love with you
every minute? I can't remember a time when I didn't love you. I loved
you as a kid in short skirts and a blue jersey. I loved you when you
came back from that school of yours, looking like a princess. And I
love you now more than I have ever loved you. I worship you, Pat
darling. You're the whole world to me, just the one thing that matters
the least little bit. And don't you try to start laughing at me again now,
because I've made up my mind that, whatever else you laugh at,
you've got to take me seriously. I may have been Poor Old Johnnie
in the past, but the time has come when you've got to forget all that. I
mean business. You're going to marry me, and the sooner you make
up your mind to it, the better."
That was what John had intended to say. What he actually did say
was something briefer and altogether less effective.
"Oh, I don't know," said John.
"Do you mean you're afraid I'm going to stop being friends with you
just because my father and your uncle have had a quarrel?"
"Yes," said John. It was not quite all he had meant, but it gave the
general idea.
"What a weird notion! After all these years? Good heavens, no. I'm
much too fond of you, Johnnie."
Once more John had his cue. And this time he was determined that
he would not neglect it. He stiffened his courage. He cleared his
throat. He clutched the tablecloth.
"Pat...."
"Oh, there's Hugo at last," she said, looking past him. "And about
time. I'm starving. Hullo! Who are the people he's got with him? Do
you know them?"
John heaved a silent sigh. Yes, he could have counted on Hugo
arriving at just this moment. He turned, and perceived that
unnecessary young man crossing the floor. With him were a middle-
aged man and a younger and extremely dashing-looking girl. They
were complete strangers to John.

II
Hugo pranced buoyantly up to the table, looking like the Laughing
Cavalier, clean-shaved.
He was wearing the unmistakable air of a man who has been to a
welter-weight boxing contest at the Albert Hall and backed the
winner.
"Hullo, Pat," he said jovially. "Hullo, John. Sorry I'm late. Mitt—if that
is the word I want—my dear old friend ... I've forgotten your name,"
he added, turning to his companion.
"Molloy, brother. Thomas G. Molloy."
Hugo's dear old friend spoke in a deep, rich voice, well in keeping
with his appearance. He was a fine, handsome, open-faced person
in the early forties, with grizzled hair that swept in a wave off a
massive forehead. His nationality was plainly American, and his
aspect vaguely senatorial.
"Molloy," said Hugo, "Thomas G. and daughter. This is Miss Wyvern.
And this is my cousin, Mr. Carroll. And now," said Hugo, relieved at
having finished with the introductions, "let's try to get a bit of supper."
The service at the Mustard Spoon is not what it was; but by the
simple process of clutching at the coat tails of a passing waiter and
holding him till he consented to talk business Hugo contrived to get
fairly rapid action. Then, after an interval of the rather difficult
conversation which usually marks the first stages of this sort of party,
the orchestra burst into a sudden torrent of what it evidently mistook
for music and Thomas G. Molloy rose and led Miss Molloy out on to
the floor. He danced a little stiffly, but he knew how to give the elbow
and he appeared, as the crowd engulfed him, to be holding his own.
"Who are your friends, Hugo?" asked Pat.
"Thos. G...."
"Yes, I know. But who are they?"
"Well, there," said Hugo, "you rather have me. I sat next to Thos. at
the fight, and I rather took to the fellow. He seemed to me a man full
of noble qualities, including a looney idea that Eustace Rodd was
some good as a boxer. He actually offered to give me three to one,
and I cleaned up substantially at the end of the seventh round. After
that, I naturally couldn't very well get out of giving the man supper.
And as he had promised to take his daughter out to-night, I said
bring her along. You don't mind?"
"Of course not. Though it would have been cosier, just we three."
"Quite true. But never forget that, if it had not been for this Thos.,
you would not be getting the jolly good supper which I have now
ample funds to supply. You may look on Thos. as practically the
Founder of the Feast." He cast a wary eye at his cousin, who was
leaning back in his chair with the abstracted look of one in deep
thought. "Has old John said anything to you yet?"
"John? What do you mean? What about?"
"Oh, things in general. Come and dance this. I want to have a very
earnest word with you, young Pat. Big things are in the wind."
"You're very mysterious."
"Ah!" said Hugo.
Left alone at the table with nothing to entertain him but his thoughts,
John came almost immediately to the conclusion that his first verdict
on the Mustard Spoon had been an erroneous one. Looking at it
superficially, he had mistaken it for rather an attractive place: but
now, with maturer judgment, he saw it for what it was—a blot on a
great city. It was places like the Mustard Spoon that made a man
despair of progress. He disliked the clientèle. He disliked the head
waiter. He disliked the orchestra. The clientèle was flashy and
offensive and, as regarded the male element of it, far too given to the
use of hair oil. The head waiter was a fat parasite who needed
kicking. And, as for Ben Baermann's Collegiate Buddies, he resented
the fact that they were being paid for making the sort of noises which
he, when a small boy, had produced—for fun and with no thought of
sordid gain—on a comb with a bit of tissue paper over it.
He was brooding on the scene in much the same spirit of captious
criticism as that in which Lot had once regarded the Cities of the
Plain, when the Collegiate Buddies suddenly suspended their
cacophony, and he saw Pat and Hugo coming back to the table.
But the Buddies had only been crouching, the better to spring. A
moment later they were at it again, and Pat, pausing, looked
expectantly at Hugo.
Hugo shook his head.
"I've just seen Ronnie Fish up in the balcony," he said. "I positively
must go and confer with him. I have urgent matters to discuss with
the old leper. Sit down and talk to John. You've got lots to talk about.
See you anon. And, if there's anything you want, order it, paying no
attention whatever to the prices in the right-hand column. Thanks to
Thos., I'm made of money to-night."
Hugo melted away: Pat sat down: and John, with another abrupt
change of mood, decided that he had misjudged the Mustard Spoon.
A very jolly little place, when you looked at it in the proper spirit. Nice
people, a distinctly lovable head waiter, and as attractive a lot of
musicians as he remembered ever to have seen. He turned to Pat,
to seek her confirmation of these views, and, meeting her gaze,
experienced a rather severe shock. Her eyes seemed to have frozen
over. They were cold and hard. Taken in conjunction with the fact
that her nose turned up a little at the end, they gave her face a
scornful and contemptuous look.
"Hullo!" he said, alarmed. "What's the matter?"
"Nothing."
"Why are you looking like that?"
"Like what?"
"Well...."
John had little ability as a word painter. He could not on the spur of
the moment give anything in the nature of detailed description of the
way Pat was looking. He only knew he did not like it.
"I suppose you expected me to look at you 'with eyes overrunning
with laughter'?"
"Eh?"
"'Archly the maiden smiled, and with eyes overrunning with laughter
said in a tremulous voice, "Why don't you speak for yourself,
John?"'"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Don't you know The Courtship of Miles Standish? I thought that
must have been where you got the idea. I had to learn chunks of it at
school, and even at that tender age I always thought Miles Standish
a perfect goop. 'If the great captain of Plymouth is so very eager to
wed me, Why does he not come himself and take the trouble to woo
me? If I am not worth the wooing, I surely am not worth the winning.'
And yards more of it. I knew it by heart once. Well, what I want to
know is, do you expect my answer direct, or would you prefer that I
communicated with your agent?"
"I don't understand."
"Don't you? No? Really?"
"Pat, what's the matter?"
"Oh, nothing much. When we were dancing just now, Hugo proposed
to me."
A cold hand clutched at John's heart. He had not a high opinion of
his cousin's fascinations, but the thought of anybody but himself
proposing to Pat was a revolting one.
"Oh, did he?'
"Yes, he did. For you."
"For me? How do you mean, for me?"
"I'm telling you. He asked me to marry you. And very eloquent he
was, too. All the people who heard him—and there must have been
dozens who did—were much impressed."
She stopped: and, as far as such a thing is possible at the Mustard
Spoon when Baermann's Collegiate Buddies are giving an encore of
"My Sweetie Is A Wow," there was silence. Emotion of one sort or
another had deprived Pat of words: and, as for John, he was feeling
as if he could never speak again.
He had flushed a dusky red, and his collar had suddenly become so
tight that he had all the sensations of a man who is being garrotted.
And so powerfully had the shock of this fearful revelation affected his
mind that his only coherent thought was a desire to follow Hugo up
to the balcony, tear him limb from limb, and scatter the fragments
onto the tables below.
Pat was the first to find speech. She spoke quickly, stormily.
"I can't understand you, Johnnie. You never used to be such a
jellyfish. You did have a mind of your own once. But now ... I believe
it's living at Rudge all the time that has done it. You've got lazy and
flabby. It's turned you into a vegetable. You just loaf about and go on
and on, year after year, having your three fat meals a day and your
comfortable rooms and your hot-water bottle at night...."
"I don't!" cried John, stung by this monstrous charge from the coma
which was gripping him.
"Well, bed socks, then," amended Pat. "You've just let yourself be
cosseted and pampered and kept in comfort till the You that used to
be there has withered away and you've gone blah. My dear, good
Johnnie," said Pat vehemently, riding over his attempt at speech and
glaring at him above a small, perky nose whose tip had begun to
quiver even as it had always done when she lost her temper as a
child. "My poor, idiotic, flabby, fat-headed Johnnie, do you seriously
expect a girl to want to marry a man who hasn't the common,
elementary pluck to propose to her for himself and has to get
someone else to do it for him?"
"I didn't!"
"You did."
"I tell you I did not."
"You mean you never asked Hugo to sound me out?"
"Of course not. Hugo is a meddling, officious idiot, and if I'd got him
here now, I'd wring his neck."
He scowled up at the balcony. Hugo, who happened to be looking
down at the moment, beamed encouragingly and waved a friendly
hand as if to assure his cousin that he was with him in spirit. Silence,
tempered by the low wailing of the Buddy in charge of the
saxophone and the unpleasant howling of his college friends, who
had just begun to sing the chorus, fell once more.
"This opens up a new line of thought," said Pat at length. "Our Miss
Wyvern appears to have got the wires crossed," she looked at him
meditatively. "It's funny. Hugo seemed so convinced about the way
you felt."
John's collar tightened up another half inch, but he managed to get
his vocal chords working.
"He was quite right about the way I felt."
"You mean.... Really?"
"Yes."
"You mean you're ... fond of me?"
"Yes."
"But, Johnnie!"
"Damn it, are you blind?" cried John, savage from shame and the
agony of harrowed feelings, not to mention a collar which appeared
to have been made for a man half his size. "Can't you see? Don't
you know I've always loved you? Yes, even when you were a kid."
"But, Johnnie, Johnnie, Johnnie!" Distress was making Pat's silver
voice almost squeaky. "You can't have done. I was a horrible kid. I
did nothing but bully you from morning till night."
"I liked it."
"But how can you want me to marry you? We know each other too
well. I've always looked on you as a sort of brother."
There are words in the language which are like a knell. Keats
considered "forlorn" one of them. John Carroll was of opinion that
"brother" was a second.
"Oh, I know. I was a fool. I knew you would simply laugh at me."
Pat's eyes were misty. The tip of her nose no longer quivered, but
now it was her mouth that did so. She reached out across the table
and her hand rested on his for a brief instant.
"I'm not laughing at you, Johnnie, you—you chump. What would I
want to laugh at you for? I'm much nearer crying. I'd do anything in
the world rather than hurt you. You must know that. You're the
dearest old thing that ever lived. There's no one on earth I'm fonder
of." She paused. "But this ... it—it simply isn't on the board."
She was looking at him, furtively, taking advantage of the fact that
his face was turned away and his eyes fixed on the broad, swallow-
tailed back of Mr. Ben Baermann. It was odd, she felt, all very odd. If
she had been asked to describe the sort of man whom one of these
days she hoped to marry, the description, curiously enough, would
not have been at all unlike dear old Johnnie. He had the right clean,
fit look—she knew she could never give a thought to anything but an
outdoor man—and the straightness and honesty and kindliness
which she had come, after moving for some years in a world where
they were rare, to look upon as the highest of masculine qualities.
Nobody could have been farther than John from the little, black-
moustached dancing-man type which was her particular aversion,
and yet ... well, the idea of becoming his wife was just simply too
absurd and that was all there was to it.
But why? What, then, was wrong with Johnnie? Simply, she felt, the
fact that he was Johnnie. Marriage, as she had always envisaged it,
was an adventure. Poor cosy, solid old Johnnie would have to
display quite another side of himself, if such a side existed, before
she could regard it as an adventure to marry him.
"That man," said John, indicating Mr. Baermann, "looks like a Jewish
black beetle."
Pat was relieved. If by this remark he was indicating that he wished
the recent episode to be taken as concluded, she was very willing to
oblige him.
"Doesn't he?" she said. "I don't know where they can have dug him
up from. The last time I was here, a year ago, they had another
band, a much better one. I think this place has gone down. I don't
like the look of some of these people. What do you think of Hugo's
friends?"
"They seem all right." John cast a moody eye at Miss Molloy, a
prismatic vision seen fitfully through the crowd. She was laughing,
and showing in the process teeth of a flashing whiteness. "The girl's
the prettiest girl I've seen for a long time."
Pat gave an imperceptible start. She was suddenly aware of a
feeling which was remarkably like uneasiness. It lurked at the back
of her consciousness like a small formless cloud.
"Oh!" she said.
Yes, the feeling was uneasiness. Any other man who at such a
moment had said those words she would have suspected of a desire
to pique her, to stir her interest by a rather obviously assumed
admiration of another. But not John. He was much too honest. If
Johnnie said a thing, he meant it.
A quick flicker of concern passed through Pat. She was always
candid with herself, and she knew quite well that, though she did not
want to marry him, she regarded John as essentially a piece of
personal property. If he had fallen in love with her, that was, of
course, a pity: but it would, she realized, be considerably more of a
pity if he ever fell in love with someone else. A Johnnie gone out of
her life and assimilated into that of another girl would leave a frightful
gap. The Mustard Spoon was one of those stuffy, overheated places,
but, as she meditated upon this possibility, Pat shivered.
"Oh!" she said.
The music stopped. The floor emptied. Mr. Molloy and his daughter
returned to the table. Hugo remained up in the gallery, in earnest
conversation with his old friend, Mr. Fish.

III
Ronald Overbury Fish was a pink-faced young man of small stature
and extraordinary solemnity. He had been at school with Hugo and
also at the university. Eton was entitled to point with pride at both of
them, and only had itself to blame if it failed to do so. The same
remark applies to Trinity College, Cambridge. From earliest days
Hugo had always entertained for R. O. Fish an intense and lively
admiration, and the thought of being compelled to let his old friend
down in this matter of the Hot Spot was doing much to mar an
otherwise jovial evening.
"I'm most frightfully sorry, Ronnie, old thing," he said immediately the
first greetings were over. "I sounded the aged relative this afternoon
about that business, and there's nothing doing."
"No hope?"
"None."
Ronnie Fish surveyed the dancers below with a grave eye. He
removed the stub of his cigarette from its eleven-inch holder, and
recharged that impressive instrument.
"Did you reason with the old pest?"
"You can't reason with my uncle Lester."
"I could," said Mr. Fish.
Hugo did not doubt this. Ronnie, in his opinion, was capable of any
feat.
"Yes, but the only trouble is," he explained, "you would have to do it
at long range. I asked if I might invite you down to Rudge and he
would have none of it."
Ronnie Fish relapsed into silence. It seemed to Hugo, watching him,
that that great brain was busy, but upon what train of thought he
could not conjecture.
"Who are those people you're with?" he asked at length.
"The big chap with the fair hair is my cousin John. The girl in green is
Pat Wyvern. She lives near us."
"And the others? Who's the stately looking bird with the brushed-
back hair who has every appearance of being just about to address
a gathering of constituents on some important point of policy?"
"That's a fellow named Molloy. Thos. G. I met him at the fight. He's
an American."
"He looks prosperous."
"He is not so prosperous, though, as he was before the fight started.
I took thirty quid off him."
"Your uncle, from what you have told me, is pretty keen on rich men,
isn't he?"
"All over them."
"Then the thing's simple," said Ronnie Fish. "Invite this Mulcahy or
whatever his name is to Rudge, and invite me at the same time.
You'll find that in the ecstasy of getting a millionaire on the premises
your uncle will forget to make a fuss about my coming. And once I
am in I can talk this business over with him. I'll guarantee that if I can
get an uninterrupted half hour with the old boy I can easily make him
see the light."
A rush of admiration for his friend's outstanding brain held Hugo
silent for a moment. The bold simplicity of the move thrilled him.
"What it amounts to," continued Ronnie Fish, "is that your uncle is
endeavouring to do you out of a vast fortune. I tell you, the Hot Spot
is going to be a gold mine. To all practical intents and purposes he is
just as good as trying to take thousands of pounds out of your
pocket. I shall point this out to him, and I shall be surprised if I can't
put the thing through. When would you like me to come down?"
"Ronnie," said Hugo, "this is absolute genius." He hesitated. He had
no wish to discourage his friend, but he desired to be fair and above-
board. "There's just one thing. Would you have any objection to
performing at the village concert?"
"I should enjoy it."
"They're sure to rope you in. I thought you and I might do the Quarrel
Scene from Julius Cæsar again."
"Excellent."
"And this time," said Hugo generously, "you can be Brutus."
"No, no," said Ronnie, moved.
"Yes, yes."
"Very well. Then fix things up with this American bloke, and leave the
rest to me. Shall I like your uncle?"
"No," said Hugo confidently.
"Ah well," said Mr. Fish equably, "I don't for a moment suppose he'll
like me."

IV
The respite afforded to their patrons' ear drums by the sudden
cessation of activity on the part of the Buddies proved of brief
duration. Men like these ex-collegians, who have really got the
saxophone virus into their systems, seldom have long lucid intervals
between the attacks. Very soon they were at it again, and Mr. Molloy,
rising, led Pat gallantly out onto the floor. His daughter, following
them with a bright eye as she busied herself with a lip stick, laughed
amusedly.
"She little knows!"
John, like Pat a short while before, had fallen into a train of thought.
From this he now woke with a start to the realization that he was
alone with this girl and presumably expected by her to make some
effort at being entertaining.
"I beg your pardon?" he said.
Even had he been less preoccupied, he would have found small
pleasure in this tête-à-tête. Miss Molloy—her father addressed her
as Dolly—belonged to the type of girl in whose society a diffident
man is seldom completely at ease. There hung about her like an
aura a sort of hard glitter. Her challenging eyes were of a bright
hazel—beautiful but intimidating. She looked supremely sure of
herself.
"I was saying," she explained, "that your Girl Friend little knows what
she has taken on, going out to step with Soapy."
"Soapy?"
It seemed to John that his companion had momentarily the
appearance of being a little confused.
"My father, I mean," she said quickly. "I call him Soapy."
"Oh?" said John. He supposed the practice of calling a father by a
nickname in preference to the more old-fashioned style of address
was the latest fad of the Modern Girl.
"Soapy," said Miss Molloy, developing her theme, "is full of Sex
Appeal, but he has two left feet." She emitted another little gurgle of
laughter. "There! Would you just look at him now!"
John was sorry to appear dull, but, eyeing Mr. Molloy as requested,
he could not see that he was doing anything wrong. On the contrary,
for one past his first youth, the man seemed to him enviably efficient.
"I'm afraid I don't know anything about dancing," he said
apologetically.
"At that, you're ahead of Soapy. He doesn't even suspect anything.
Whenever I get into the ring with him and come out alive I reckon
I've broke even. It isn't so much his dancing on my feet that I mind—
it's the way he jumps on and off that slays me. Don't you ever hoof?"
"Oh, yes. Sometimes. A little."
"Well, come and do your stuff, then. I can't sit still while they're
playing that thing."
John rose reluctantly. Their brief conversation had made it clear to
him that in the matter of dancing this was a girl of high ideals, and he
feared he was about to disappoint her. If she regarded with derision
a quite adequate performer like Mr. Molloy, she was obviously no
partner for himself. But there was no means of avoiding the ordeal.
He backed her out into mid-stream, hoping for the best.
Providence was in a kindly mood. By now the floor had become so
congested that skill was at a discount. Even the sallow youths with
the marcelled hair and the india-rubber legs were finding little scope
to do anything but shuffle. This suited John's individual style. He, too,
shuffled: and, playing for safety, found that he was getting along
better than he could have expected. His tension relaxed, and he
became conversational.
"Do you often come to this place?" he asked, resting his partner
against the slim back of one of the marcelled-hair brigade who, like
himself, had been held up in the traffic block.
"I've never been here before. And it'll be a long time before I come
again. A more gosh-awful aggregation of yells for help, than this
gang of whippets," said Miss Molloy, surveying the company with a
critical eye, "I've never seen. Look at that dame with the eyeglass."
"Rather weird," agreed John.
"A cry for succour," said Miss Molloy severely. "And why, when you
can buy insecticide at any drug store, people let these boys with the
shiny hair go around loose beats me."
John began to warm to this girl. At first, he had feared that he and
she could have little in common. But this remark told him that on
certain subjects, at any rate, they saw eye to eye. He, too, had felt
an idle wonder that somebody did not do something about these
youths.
The Buddies had stopped playing: and John, glowing with the
strange new spirit of confidence which had come to him, clapped
loudly for an encore.
But the Buddies were not responsive. Hitherto, a mere tapping of the
palms had been enough to urge them to renewed epileptic spasms;
