WENTWORTH If you please. Yes, two lumps. There's nothing like the
atmosphere of a studio, is there? I love it. I feel I have missed so
much. Still, the instinct for beauty, fragile as it is, does persist.... I
was surprised to feel so many of my old emotions awake on coming to Paris.
So much that hasn't been real to me for years! I have gained much
inspiration for planning my new house.
SILVIA
You are building a new house? I have heard father talk about your
collection of Japanese prints.
MR. WENTWORTH
A really delightful thing, Japanese prints. Yes, I intend building on Long
Island. And my new interest in pictures ... I shall have a gallery
especially for them.
JOE
Americans haven't done any too much for art so far.
MR. WENTWORTH
Oh, I assure you! I know many men who are continually buying the best on
the market.
JOE
Oh, _that_....
SILVIA
Another cup, Mr. Wentworth? Joe, pass the cake.
MR. WENTWORTH
No, thank you, Silvia. Yes, the cake if you please. Why, it's real English
plumcake!
SILVIA
English things are getting very popular over here.
