_The Personal Conductor:_ "It is a statue of no importance
whatever."
_The Personally Conducted:_ "Yes, but what does it mean?"
_The Personal Conductor:_ "I don't suppose it means anything in
particular. It is not by any well-known artist and the guidebooks say
nothing about it."
_The Personally Conducted:_ "Perhaps the sculptor intended to
typify life; the tragic face representing one side of existence and the
comic mask another."
_The Personal Conductor:_ "Very likely. This way to the Louvre, if
you please."
