"My Hopeless Romance" i

After lunch Betty Somers took her Airedale for a walk over the Common, At the top of the hill she took the [Lilli skirting the grounds

of Cheriton House which led ncr El bidding and firoper cvaluationl

to the wildest part of the Co. - mon. Half way along this lane a gate led into the orchard behind the house and here she found Brereton sitting on the gate smok- ing a cigar and watching the vi"..- hy below, half shrouded l-n pearl [fey mist.

"Hallol" he greeted her. “More exercise?"

"Yes. Peter needs lt."

"He's a nice beast. This is a love- ly lace. That moving mist in the val ey--"

“You don't paint landscapes, do you?"

“I try to, sometimes. Ono of these days I might ask you to sit for me and call the picture ‘The Chemist.”

"I should like you to. But why give it such an absurd title?"

"What would you call it?"

“Not ‘The Chemist.’ Why not ‘A Portrait?’ Mrs. Heriot was talking about a picture of yours‘ with that title."

"There are few more satisfying things in life than a lovely vii-w likc this valley-and a good cigar."

"They are both dope, I suppose. Mental dope. I mean."

"The cigar may be, but beauty? Would you call beauty dope?"

"Are you laughing at me?"

"No. Ii was quite an innocent question." -

"Yes. I think I do. Music, pic-

,tures, even poetry -they are dope l-means of escape."
