Intelligence. I'll break your neck in another minute, you born fool!
(_Aloud suavely_.) Mr. Schercl is naturally anxious to hear how the picture he had given me a commission for is getting along. I was telling him how much you think of it but he would like to hear your views from your own mouth. CHARLES SYLVESTER. Oh--oh!--now I know what you're talking about! Well, I have a very high opinion of the work indeed, Mr. Schercl--a very high opinion. (_Aside to_ TEMPENNY.) What's the subject? REMBRANDT TEMPENNY (_aside to_ SYLVESTER). "Susannah before the Elders"--pitch it strong. CHARLES SYLVESTER. The conception of Susannah, and in fact the entire treatment if I may say so, is bold in the extreme. He makes a school, our friend here. You will be surprised when you see the work, and impressed. HENRICH SCHERCL. Vell, we will make the abbointment soon, Mr. Tempenny. I am sorry I could not see it to-day. So I shall be imbressed? That is goot. Gootday, gentlemen. We will make the abbointment very soon. (_Exit_ SCHERCL.) |
