A CHILD'S GUIDE TO ART.
Q. Is it a lady or a gentleman,
mother?
A. A lady, of course. Q. Why?
A. Because the composition is
essentially feminine.
Q. Is that why the lady has seven
fingers?
A. It is er-all part of the
design.
A. If the lady had eight fingers would she be a gentleman, mother?
A. (Loftily) The artist is noti
interested in fingers.
Q. Then why did he give her two
extra ones?
A. He was probably carried away
by his inspiration.
Q. Was the lady's nose carried away by his Inspiration, too, mother?
A: What do you mean?
Q. Well, where is the lady's nose? A. (Harshly) If you breathe so heavily on the canvas, it will crack.
Q. Who painted the picture,
mother?
A. Mr. Rakowski.
Q. Is that the young man who cries whenever he comes to tea?
A. (Quickly) Look at that lovely tree in the background! Q. Does Mr. Rakowski. cry be
cause he's sorry for the lady with seven fingers? A. (Tenaely) Do you think you
could climb that tree, Cyril? Q. Yes, mother: Could you? A. (With sigh of relief). No, I
don't think I could.
Q. Not even if Mr. Rakowski' lifted you up? Like he lift- ed you when...
A. (With agony) If you dropi
another caramel on the floor, you will be sent to prison. Q. Does the lady feel sick,
mother?
A. Do not be disgusting.
Q. Then why is her. face
green?
SO
-A. That is as the artist saw her. Q. Was she always green to Mr.
Rakowski?
A. Evidently.
Z
Q. Was she green to other people? A. To inferior souls, no. She was probably a mere pink and white doll.
Q. Then did she always feel sick when she saw Mr. Rakowski? A. (Angrily) I forbid you to
say such things. Q. Was that what daddy meant when he said that he felt sick whenever Mr. Rak...? .A. Be quiet. Pay attention to the picture. Look at that mountain.
Q. Yes, mother. But it isn't a
mountain.
It's the lady's
ear.
(A moment'a panac,)
Q. What is the lady doing,
mother?
A. She is stepping into a bath. Q. Why didn't Mr. Rakowski wait until she'd had it? A. Why should he?
Q. Then the lady wouldn't have' had so much mud on her knees.
'A. Those are not her knees.
Q. Whose knees are they, then? Are they Mr. Rak . . .? (Embarrassed) They are not knees at all. They are only part of the pictorial design.
A.
Q. Dogs the lady always take them into the bath with her? 'A. I have no idea.
Q. Would the lady be slek if she went into the bath without the extra pair of knees? You must not speak like that. Q. Has Mr. Rakowski ever seen
a bath, mother?
A.
A. (Bitterly) If you cat caramels without taking the paper off, you will have a pain.
E
Q. Will anybody buy the picture,
mother?
A. I expect so..
Q. Will it be bought by one of the ladies who make Mr. Rakowski cry?
A. (Tortured) Yes. No. I don't
know.
Q. What would they do with it,
mother?
A. Look at it, of course. Q. How long for?
A. A very long time, I expect. Q. Supposing they began to feel
sick, would Mr. Rak...?
A. Will you not use that word? Q. If you met the lady
in the bath, would you ask her to tea?
A. Certainly.
Q. Would she have all her fingers on? And her green face? And her knees? Will you please ask the lady to tea, mother? Will . . .?
A. (Hoarsely) Stop asking ques- tions. Look at the way he has painted the grass.
Q. Yes, mother. But it isn't the grass. It's got "Bath Mat" written on it. (A slight pause.)
*
Q. Mother, have you scen the
catalogue?
A. No. Why?
Q. It says the picture we have been looking at is called: "Portrait of the Ex-Mayor of Casterbridge in His Gar- den."
A. (Hastily) Look at the pretty picture of the sea-gulls over there in the corner.
Q. (Monotonously) Was the Ex- Mayor of Custerbridge a lady, mother?
A. (Trying to escape) Lots and
lots of sea-gulls!
Q. Did Mr. Rakowiski see the Ex-Mayor of Casterbridge in his, in her bath, raother? A. (No reply.)
Q. If Mr. Rakowski comes to tea to-day, shall I tell him you thought the Ex-Mayor of Casterbridge was a lady in his, in her bath, mother?
A. (With hatred) There is half- a-crown. You may go to the Zoo.
"Wouldn't it be just terrible if the patients at the asylum should escape?" "Yes, Harold. It would be impossible to identify them."
