“Why don’t you paint me?”
“I may come to it. But if I do I’m mortally afraid they’ll make an academician of me. Go on about your man.”
“Didn’t you think him a wonderful type?”
“Yes.”
“Tell me! If you want to paint someone, what do you do?”
“Do? Go up and tell him or her to come along to the studio.”
“Whether you know them or not?”
“Of course.”
“You ought to paint that man.”
“Just because you want me to pick hum up and then introduce him to you. I don’t paint for reasons of that kind.”
