Hello Amy
I don’t want to see you
Oh Amy I’m sorry for how I behaved please forgive me?
Have you been drinking?
Only a little and it’s 4pm yoh can’t be too hard on me
Someone has to do it
So when do you began your great work of art Raphaella?
Never
What why?
I’m a failure Jo is in New York being a writer and I’m a failure
That’s quite a statement to make at 20
Rome took all the vanity out of me and Paris made me realise I’d never be a genius I’m giving up all my foolish artistic hopes
Why should you? You have so much talent and energy
Talent isn’t genius and no amount of energy can make it so I want to be great or nothing. I won’t be a common place dabber so I don’t trend to try anymore.
What women are allowed into the club of geniuses anyway
The Brontës
That’s it?
I think so
And who always declares geniuses
Well men I suppose
They’re cutting down their competition
That’s a very complicated argument to make me feel better
Do you though? Feel better?
I do think that male or female I am a middling talent
Middling talent? Then may I ask your last portrait be of me?
All right
Now that you’ve given up all your foolish artistic hopes what are you going to do with your life?
Polish up my other talents and be an ornament to society
Here is where Fred Vaughn comes in I suppose
Don’t make / fund
I’m not.
You are not engaged I hope
No
But you will be if he goes down properly on one knee?
Most likely yes
He’s rich richer than you even
I understand queens of society can’t get on without money but it does sound odd coming from one of your mothers girls
I’ve always known I will marry rich why should I be ashamed of that?
There is nothing to be ashamed of so long as you love him
Well i believe we have some power over who we live it’s not something that just happens to a person
I think the poets might disagree
Well I’m not a poet … how do I look? Do I look alright?
You look beautiful … you are beautiful
