The painters were told what to do long, long ago, "in about the second generation after the first people." They all smile, and say, "Yes, indeed," or "Oh, yes, indeed," or plain "Yes," in a breath. They all feel intensely obliged to Violet for her very ordinary little remark. "Say so, if you do: it will be honester. If you don't," threateningly, "I shall of course think the contrary.".
