Summer in February Page #3

I could pick your brains,

because I came here to learn from

you. I want to learn from all of you.

- Well, if you wish.

- Would you excuse me.

Mightn't it be easier

if you asked Dolly?

- Dolly?

- Yes.

No, Dolly's game enough,

but she has nothing to hide.

"And filled the silent wigwam... "

Oh, Howard, I'm sorry. I can't.

I've just remembered.

I promised to sit for Mr Munnings.

"Hiawatha could hear a rustle... "

- On a horse.

- On a horse?

Yes.

Well, that's what he does,

doesn't he? Horses.

AJ doesn't do women.

Excuse me.

"Felt the cold breath

of the night air,

"And for the moment

saw the starlight,

"But he could see

the ghosts no longer,

"Saw no more the wandering spirits

"From the kingdom of Ponemah,

"From the land of the Hereafter. "

And that was

by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

and he is not a f***ing Persian.

Well done, AJ. Well done.

I must say that is quite a feat.

Jory, get these gentlemen a drink

and a slice of humble pie.

Well, now, AJ, I was wondering

if we could have a little settle up.

- Excuse me.

- I've been totting up here.

And erm... there we are.

Oh, I see.

Well, I can do better than this,

Mr Jory.

- Can you, now?

- Yes, I can.

I'll give you something priceless.

Oh. Oh, dear Lord.

- Is that us?

- It's us.

Well, I suppose I'd better

add it to my collection.

I can tell you like it here.

- A man, was it?

- I'm sorry?

Are you escaping from a man?

I was.

Thought as much.

Wait, don't move.

It was my father.

Worries about you, does he?

- And I can see why.

- What can you see?

A talented girl who wants

what she wants.

And that's worrying, is it?

Hm, for some men.

Not for me.

All right.

Come on. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

- Calm down.

- Whoa, calm down, now.

Calm down, calm down, calm down.

That's it. You're such a good girl.

Let's get back to work, eh?

Good girl.

Gilbert.

Gilbert.

Come on. No, that's not it.

Lighter, man. Blast.

Bloody Gilbert.

Would you like me to help you?

- Help me?

- I could make you better.

What's Joey been saying to you?

He's been talking

about me, hasn't he?

Make you a better painter.

Oh, I see.

Lighter, lighter! Blast.

What on earth?

Wait, you can't leave now.

Oh, for God's sake,

get back on the horse, woman.

I have pins and needles

and I have my own work to do.

I can't be on both sides

of the easel at once, can I?

Come back tomorrow. Will you?

But I'm on the edge.

What is that?

It's a rabbit.

What's it doing there?

It brings the trout up.

How?

Maggots breed inside it,

drop down into the stream.

It attracts the bigger fish.

That's all.

What's the matter? You're shivering.

Is something wrong?

Here, take this.
