Venus and Adonis.

“Men who suffer their wives’ photographs to be exhibited for sale in the shop-windows run the risk of being thought to get some profit by so doing, for they otherwise would hardly sanction such publicity.”

Where are you going to, my pretty maid?

I’m going to be Photographed, Sir, she said.

May I go with you, my pretty maid?

Yes, if you like it, she calmly said.

What is your fortune, my pretty maid?

My face is my fortune, Sir, she said.
