"Surely, but it wouldn't be fair to the squaw," explained Leslie. "I'd
have had the benefit of her art to begin on."
"It would," said Mr. Winton. "Does not every artist living, painter,
sculptor, writer, what you will, have the benefit of all art that has gone
before?"
"You agree?" Leslie turned to Douglas.
"Your father's argument is a truism."
"But I will know that I am on trial. She didn't. Is it fair to her?"
persisted Leslie.
"For begging the question, commend me to a woman," said Mr. Winton. "The
point we began at, was not what you could do in a contest with her. She
went to the swamp and brought from it some flower baskets. It is perfectly
fair to her to suppose that they are her best art. Now what we are
proposing to test is whether the finest product of our civilization, as
embodied in you, can go to the same swamp, and from the same location
surpass her work. Do I make myself clear?"
"Perfectly clear, Daddy, and it would be fair," conceded Leslie.
