No, I don't paint. I just fly around amongst the artists and
see what's going on. Are you staying in Paris very long?
MR. WENTWORTH
A couple of weeks more, at least. I am revelling in the galleries and
museums here.
SILVIA
Here comes Joe. Joe, I want you to meet my cousin, Mr. Wentworth. Mr.
Wentworth--Mr. Carson.
JOE
Very glad to meet you, Mr. Wentworth.
MR. WENTWORTH
It's a great pleasure for me to meet a real artist, Mr. Carson.
SILVIA
Excuse me a moment. I'll bring on the tea.
JOE
Oh, as for that--I'm working along. Sometimes I hit it--
MR. WENTWORTH
_Ars longa, vita brevis_ you know! I want to see your pictures very much.
I was just telling Silvia how I delight in the Louvre. I go there with a
class for lectures every morning. I suppose you often copy the old
masters?
JOE
Copy the old masters? I should say not. I'm not out to be a camera. It's
all I can do to work out my own impressions.
MR. WENTWORTH
Oh, I see. But--
SILVIA
The tea's ready. Joe, bring up that chair for Mr. Wentworth. Mr.
Wentworth, do you take cream and sugar?
MR.
