Archer Millington wants to be bainted — ^you know her sdyle? WeU, she prides herself on her likeness to little Gladys. And so ven she saw dat bicture of yours at de Fake Show she made a note of your name, and de udder day she sent for me and she says: 'Mr. Shepson, I'm tired of Mungold — ^aU my friends are done by Mungold. I yant to break away and be orishinal — ^I vant to be done by the bainter that did Gladys Glyde.' " Shepson waited to observe the result of this overwhelm- ing annoimcement, ...and Stanwell, after a momentary halt of surprise, brought out laughingly: "But this is a Mun- gold. Is that what she calls being original ?" "Shoost exactly," said Shepson with imexpected acute- ness. "That's vat dey all want — something different from vat aU deir friends have got, but shoost hke it all de same. Dat's de public all over! Mrs. Millington don't want a Mungold, because everybody's got a Mungold, but she wants a picture that's in the same sdyle, because dat's de sdyle, and she's afraid of any oder!" [203] THE POT-BOILER Stanwell was listening with real enjoyment.
