Jeeves and the Spot of Art

Watching Jeeves and Wooster. Bertie has just gone round to the home of his artist friend, who has just painted the portrait of his father's new baby -- and he's very angry at his father.

[Corky reveals the painting.]

C - How does it strike you?
B - [After a stunned pause, with horrified look on face.] Yes well, of course I only saw the kid for a moment.
C - I've painted the soul of the subject Bertie! It's a talent we artists have.
B - Surely a child of that age wouldn't have had the time to get a soul like that, would he Jeeves?
J - I should think it most unlikely, sir.

ahhh!


Found this in my inbox. The child frightens me.

I would not buy toys from you, Scary Child, no matter how much you discount them!
