"I see most of the public exhibitions," Peter told her. "I try to like
them."
Miss De Voe looked puzzled.
"Don't," said Mr. Ogden. "I tried once, when I first began. But it's
much easier to notice what women say, and answer 'yes' and 'no' at the
right points."
Peter looked puzzled.
"Nonsense, Lispenard," said Miss De Voe. "He's really one of the best
connoisseurs I know, Mr. Stirling."
"There," said Lispenard. "You see. Only agree with people, and they
think you know everything."
"I suppose you have seen the pictures, and so won't care to go round
with us?" inquired Miss De Voe.
"I've looked at them, but I should like to go over again with you," said
Peter. Then he added, "if I shan't be in the way."
"Not a bit," said Lispenard heartily. "My cousin always wants a
listener. It will be a charity to her tongue and my ears." Miss De Voe
merely gave him a very pleasant smile. "I wonder why he wouldn't buy a
ticket?" she thought.
Peter was rather astonished at the way they looked at the pictures.
