Katrine! said Gwethyn, in her most impressive manner, have you noticed anything peculiar going on in this house the last two or three days?
Why, no, replied Katrine abstractedly, taking a fresh squeeze of cobalt blue, and mixing it carefully with the rose madder and the yellow ochre already on her palette. Nothing at all unusual. Gwethyn, be careful! You nearly sat down on my brigand, and his head's still wet!
Peccavi! I didn't see he was there, apologized Gwethyn, rescuing the canvas in question, and placing it in a position of greater safety on the mantelpiece. Considering you've got absolutely every single chair littered with books, paints, and turpentine bottles, there really doesn't seem a spot left to sit upon, she continued in an injured tone.
Except the table, returned Katrine, hastily moving a box of pastels and a pile of loose drawings to make room. Please don't disturb my things. I've been sorting them out, and I don't want to get them mixed up again. Squat here, if you're tired, and leave the bottles alone.
