Carve. By chance I haven't!

Ebag. Nothing at all?

Carve. Not a square inch.

Ebag. (Catching sight of Janet's portrait.) Pardon me. May I look?

Janet. Oh, do!

Ebag. A brilliant likeness.

Janet. Who of?

Ebag. Why, madam—yourself? The attitude is extraordinarily expressive. And if I may say so (glancing at Carve) the placing of the high lights—those white sleevelets—what d'you call them?

Janet. Why! Those are my cooking-sleeves!

Ebag. (Quietly.) Yes—well—it's genius—mere genius.
