Thank you, it is a generous offer. I have sat before without the shillings, and will again with pleasure—if you will promise to talk to me?
Denham.
I won't promise, but I shall talk all the same. So you have sat before?
Mrs. Tremaine.
Yes, artists seem to like painting me; I don't know why. I don't profess to be a beauty.
Denham.
Of course no woman is beautiful; but some women have the art of persuading you that they are. You have this art.
Mrs. Tremaine.
(laughing) Really you are very polite. Am I to take that as a compliment?
Denham.
