You went on with the
painting?
Kipling - Poems
"
"What do you do? "
"I paint a great deal. That's all I have to do. "
"Why, what's happened? You had three hundred a year. "
"I have that still. I am painting; that's all. "
"Are you alone, then? "
"There's a girl living with me. Don't walk so fast, Dick; you're out of
step. "
"Then you noticed it too? "
"Of course I did. You're always out of step. "
"So I am. I'm sorry.
You went on with the painting? "
"Of course. I said I should. I was at the Slade, then at Merton's in St.
John's Wood, the big studio, then I pepper-potted,--I mean I went to the
National,--and now I'm working under Kami. "
"But Kami is in Paris surely? "
"No; he has his teaching studio in Vitry-sur-Marne. I work with him in
the summer, and I live in London in the winter. I'm a householder. "
"Do you sell much? "
"Now and again, but not often. There is my 'bus. I must take it or lose
half an hour. Goodbye, Dick. "
"Goodbye, Maisie. Won't you tell me where you live?
