Portrait of Jennie Page #3

---

But people can't wait for

other people to grow up.

There is something different

about that child.

I wondered if my

pencil can catch it.

- Hi Ya Mac.

- Good Morning, Gus.

Morning is it ?

You slept it all away.

Gone forever,

What a grand morning it was too.

I worked pretty late last night.

I didn't get to sleep at dawn.

Had your breakfast yet ?

Well, No.

How about having some lunch with me ?

No, No, not going to eat on you, Gus,

you have to work too hard for your money.

Wait a minute.

I got some money of my own.

- No kidding.

- I sold a picture yesterday. 12,50 $.

- Well, pretty a new !

- Today, you're having lunch on me.

Its a great pleasure, Mac.

Just come along a minute while I picked

up the hack, we will soon be on our road.

You know Gus, I can't get you at all.

Why should you care if I eat ?

Well, may be I don't want

to see people go hungry.

Let me put it this way, Mac :

I got a lot of respect for a guy

thats doing what he's got to do,

even if may be its killing.

You want to paint pictures...

you go on right ahead doing it.

No matter.

I like that, Mac !

You know most of the times, fellows get the ideas

that there is nothing much to life except,

getting through what is easy

and comfortable as he can.

Making a quarter here a dollar there.

Eating, sleeping and dying.

then a fellow like you comes along,

who's not thing too much

about them things.

That makes you wonders.

Wonder that may be you

are not missing something.

Up in. I like to recommend

my friend Moore

and his corn beef and cabbage.

It's almost like home.

You couldn't pay me these anywhere else.

- Sorry Mac.

- No it's all right.

Ah! Well.

You taking to wear scarves ?

That isn't mine. I found it.

belongs to a little girl

I met at the park.

- pretty big scarf for a little girle.

- Funny kid.

She said her parents were acrobats

at Hammerstein in Victoria.

- Hammerstein was turned down years ago.

- Of course it was.

- But she said she was there yesterday.

- Yeah! lest kids straight.

All ways dreaming up something.

What would you know about.

Sarah Bernhardt came to

America for a farewell tour.

- Sarah Bernhardt ?

- Are you gone crazy.

"Sarah Bernhardt,

distinguished French tragedienne,

"arrive next month."

Let me see.

Oh! That is what it says.

Say this paper is dated 1910.

up an old paper like that ?

The girl in the park had it.

Her scarf was wrapped in it.

Gus, read that ad.

"Hammersteins Victoria ."
