HOW I BECAME AN ARTIST

 

When I was young I hated art. I never (to hate) it so much if I (not to live) with an artist — it was my father — if I (not to see) how hard he took his failures. That's why I was very glad to get the chance of going into an office and become a clerk.

I had a bowler hat, a home, a nice little wife and a nice little baby. I sent money to my mother every week, and helped my sister. A nice happy young man. I enjoyed life in those days.

But one day when I was sitting in our London office I happened to drop a blot* on an envelope. But for this drop of ink my life (to contin­ue) to be nice and pleasant. Having nothing better to do just then, I started pushing it about with my pen to try and make it look more like a face. And from that moment I was lost. If only I (to be able) to keep from drawing I (not to be) what I am now. I couldn't keep from drawing even during office hours.

When my boss found out about it he sent for me and said he was dissatisfied with me. But I said I (to give up) drawing gladly if I could.

"Jimson," he said, "I don't want to turn you out. If I (to turn) you out now you never (to be able) to get another job. I suggest that you take a couple of days off and think it over. This is my final suggestion."

If I (to listen) to reason then I still (to be) a good clerk now. But I spent my holiday drawing, and when I went back to the office I didn't last long. I left within a week. I painted about twelve hours a day and hated to be interrupted. Some of my pictures were even sold. They were very classical. Almost early Turner."'*

But then one day I happened to see a Manet*** and was greatly im­pressed. When I came out of the museum I saw the whole world in a different light. But for Manet I (not to see) the world of colour as I see it now.

AT THE GALLERY

 

"Soames!"

Soames turned his head and saw his cousin June.

"How are you!" he said. "Haven't seen you for twenty years."

"Of course it is."

"It's my Gallery."

"Hello, Father! Here you are! Sorry to have kept you waiting."

"You're not going to buy any of these, Father?" Fleur pointed to the pictures.
