Joe, won't you show us
the new picture? He finished it just before you came, Mr. Wentworth.
MR. WENTWORTH
Indeed! I should like to see it very much.
JOE
There isn't very much light.
SILVIA
No, the light is poor. But even so--and your colors will stand out, Joe.
MR. WENTWORTH
Really, Mr. Carson, I counted on seeing some of your work. I have heard,
nice things about you.
JOE
There. If you stand just here....
SILVIA
Oh, _Joe_!
JOE
What?
SILVIA
It's our little cottage! I'm so glad! That's where we lived last summer,
Mr. Wentworth. I always wanted Joe to paint it. Joe, it's splendid! Don't
you think so, Mr. Wentworth?
MR. WENTWORTH
Yes.... Yes. _Very_ interesting....
SILVIA
Don't you love the bright colors and the firm, flowing lines?
MR. WENTWORTH
Of course, it isn't exactly what I have been accustomed to.... I have
heard that some of the younger Frenchmen and Russians are painting in a
new way, but--
SILVIA
Joe, it's so _alive_! I _feel_ it, every inch of it! You've no idea, Mr.
Wentworth, how Joe's painting has changed me.
