Ford Maddox Ford and the Devil's Disciple

Hemingway was having a drink at the Closerie des Lilas, where the poets used to meet, not the people who went to places to be seen, stared at, outside, and Ford Maddox Ford joined him.

A man who Ford identified as Hilaire Belloc walked by and Ford cut him dead, demanding to Hemingway, "Did you see me cut him? Did you see me cut him?!"

Because, Ford explained to Hemingway, a gentleman must always cut a cad. "What about a bounder?" Asked Hemingway.
A gentleman wouldn't even know a bounder," answered Ford.

There is a discussion on gentlemen, and cads, or, rather, Ford gives Hemingway his opinion and Hemingway eggs him on.

Ford left. Hemingway pointed Belloc out to a friend who joined him for a drink, saying, "There's Hilaire Belloc. Ford cut him absolutely dead." When the man
walked by the other way, the friend remarked, "Hemingway, you ass, that's Alestair Crowley, the diabolist. The most evil man in Paris."
