Johnny's return

As I write, Johnny is on his way back from London.  'I've had a fantastic time,' he reported at six o'clock tonight.  I wait with baited breath to see what encounters and arrangements have been made.

A verse from: 'The Artist' by Sir Walter Raleigh and a favourite of Johnny's.  He thinks it an apt summary.

The Artist is an awful man, 

He does not do the things he can; 

He does the things he cannot do, 

And we attend the private view.
