*************************************
I can't remember what her name was, but she was truly beautiful, the way the 
quietest are sometimes. I never knew up till then that Fechin knew her, but 
he asked me to wait, and I sat down on the first step in front of the gate."

"He wasn't inside long, but when he came out, with the girl looking out the 
window, I knew what they had done. I looked at him, and he spread those 
long, thin, monkey arms. How could he share what he'd had? In the end, he 
made the girl give me half a loaf of bread and some fruit. He drew my 
picture on one side of the paper and the girl's on the other, but he kept 
the pictures."

How could he share what he'd had?  Very easily, surely, if the speaker was a 
girl!

That suggests that the speaker was male, and if he is indeed indicating an 
attraction to Fechin, it was a homosexual one.  Evidently Fechin was not 
much into androgyny.
