No, they are drawn by a young man whom I employ to help me.
Some one you have taught?
Oh yes, no doubt he has learnt something from me, too.
[Sits down.] Then I suppose he is very clever. [Looks at a drawing.] Isn't he?
Oh, he might be worse. For my purpose—
Oh yes—I'm sure he is frightfully clever.
Do you think you can see that in the drawings?
Pooh—these scrawlings! But if he has been learning from you—
Oh, so far as that goes—there are plenty of people here that have learnt from me, and have come to little enough for all that.
[Looks at him and shakes her head.] No, I can't for the life of me understand how you can be so stupid.
