Yes, I do. We had a golden clock, but Gerald wouldn't have the glass cover, and Daddy wouldn't have it without. So now the clock is in father's room. Gerald often went to Paris. Oliver used to have a studio there. I don't care much for painting, do you? (ANABEL: No. I want something I can touch, if it's something outside me.) Yes, isn't it wonderful, when things are substantial. Gerald and Oliver came back yesterday from Yorkshire. You know we have a colliery there. (ANABEL: Yes, I believe I've heard.) I want to introduce you to Gerald, to see if you like him. He's good at the bottom, but he's very overbearing and definite.
