AN OLD LADY (_who judges Art from a purely Moral Standpoint, halts
approvingly before a picture of a female orphan_). Now that really is a
nice picture, my dear--a plain black dress and white cuffs--just what I
_like_ to see in a young person!
THE S. L. (_her enthusiasm greatly on the wane, and her temper slightly
affected_). Lucy, I _wish_ you wouldn't worry so--it's quite impossible
to stop and look at _everything_. If you wanted your tea as badly as _I_
do! Mark that one? What, when they neither of them have a single _thing_
on! Never, Lucy,--and I'm surprised at your suggesting it! Oh, you meant
the next one? h'm--no, I _can't_ say I care for it. Well, if I _do_ mark
it, I shall only put a tick--for it really is _not_ worth a cross!
