"It makes no difference where he is from," said Delia. "How
clever you are, Joe! How did you guess that I wasn't giving music les-
sons?"
"I guessed," Joe said, "because about five o'clock this afternoon,
I sent some oil up to the ironing-room. They said a girl had burned her
hand. You see, dear, I work as a mechanic in that same laundry on
Twenty-Fourth Street."
"And the man from Washington...?"
"Yes, dear," Joe said. "The man from Washington and General
Pinkney are both creations of the same art, but you can't call it painting
or music." And they both began to laugh.
"You know, dear," Joe said. "When one loves one's Art, no ser-
vice seems..."
But Delia stopped him with her hand on his mouth. "No," she
said, "just – 'when one loves."
