‘Yes. I am interested in that sort of thing, chiefly, I suppose.’
‘I see,’ said Maud, artistic. ‘Well, that is a very important
side of life. I always teach my girls to appreciate Art. We have
lectures on Art, every alternate week, in the Winter terms, with
lantern slides; and literature too; three of our girls took A.A.
in the English Literature paper of the L.L.U.’
‘Helen is a great dancer too!’
Maud gave a little laugh.
‘The lighter side,’ she said, ‘that we can hardly call Art!’
I wondered why Walter had said it. I thought he might have known
that Maud would not count dancing ‘Art.’
‘It can be Art,’ said Walter doggedly. ‘Have you seen the Russian
Ballet?’
