Lucy. Soul? What is “soul”?
Tom. The gift of representing things as they don’t exist.
Lucy. Surely that isn’t a gift. Isn’t it art to show things as they are?
Tom. Not in the least. That’s realism.
Lucy. Then what’s art?
Tom. That’s art. (points to portrait, L.)
Lucy. Sir Humphrey’s portrait.
Tom. (crosses to portrait, L.) I beg your pardon—whose?
Lucy. Sir Humphrey’s. Can’t you see the likeness?
Tom. Has anybody seen it?
