Naughty Arlette Page #4

---

Sinclair you know,S-I-N-C-L-A-I-R

Why are you so restless,darling?

I'm worried about Julie

She will be home in a moment

She would be home and in bed hours ago

Why? An evening out with the girls would do her good

Besides she is growing up,you know

Yes,but it is too late when she going to get up early in the morning

I think I hear them

All right I'll go

Hi,Julie

Hello,daddy

Please don't catch a cold

Hello,mummy

Enjoyed yourself,dear?

Yes,thanks,mummy,certainly a wonderful house

Whose house was it?

Arlette's

Or rather her father's

You didn't tell me she was going to the Tesserau

I said she was going to a party given of one of the girls

which is perfectly true

but you seem to have taken such an aversion to this Arlette

Aversion? You mean you think I am prejudiced

I knew she is difficult in school

You thought I was unreasonable

So you let Julie go without telling me

You don't know this girl,Helen, I do

She is not a proper friend for Julie

Daddy,now you are being unfair, which is not a bit like you

I'm not being unfair I'm only thinking what is good for you

What's all that stuff in your face?

Nothing only a little powder,we were just playing about with Arlette's makeup,Daddy

What's wrong with little make up anyway?

You are too young,that's all

What sort of a party was it?

I'm quite sure it was enough to it

I ask Julie

What sort of a party was this?

It was a disgusting orgy,of course

I've never met her like this before

I have a word with that Tesserau girl in the morning

I've never known you like this before

I suggest we forget the whole thing

I'm for bed

I leave you to lock up

Sorry we had a row

I'm sorry I went to Arlette's

I'll promise I wont go again

Friends again?

Better pals

Julie,what have you been drinking?

Cocktails

Cocktails?

Only two

I am not old fashioned

but I hate the thought of someone of your age coming home smelling of drink

It's not wrong but it..

Don't you think it is time Julie went to sleep,Arnold?

I think she is asleep

My daughter Julie

I believe you asked her to your home last night?

I'm afraid I must ask you not to do that again

I understand.Is that all?

Yes,that's all

Why do you hate me,Master

I don't hate you,I don't hate anyone

But you will not not even let Julie be my friend

Can't you see Julie is a lot younger than you are

If not in actual years in experience

That you think she is too young

to go out and drink cocktails when you make them?

Please,Arlette

I'm sorry,Mr Dickson

But yesterday,and then although I am very bad and very idle in my work

But it isn't all my fault

If I thought your work I was talking about it

The way you behave

Please be a little patient with me

Mr Dickson,I'll promise to be better in the future

I'm sure you will

I don't like having to talk to you like this

It will be the last time

You must please help me

You see I've been not very much at school

I was ill alone

I am sorry

Can we start again? From now?

All right,from now

I'm sorry

I'm so foolish and silly

Never foolish and silly to talk things over patiently

I think we will understand each other better from now on

You are very good

And kind,Monsieur

Can you file for me Patricia?

Thank you

On the whole I was very pleased with the essays

Particularly of those of Eileen and Jill

Where is Arlette Tesserau today. Late this morning?

She went home this weekend and didn't come back

I see,thank you

She wasn't well on Saturday morning

She told me it was owing to her heart,same sickness

I'm sorry to hear that

We got a lot of garn to cover this morning,so let us get on with it

One of the contemporaries of Michelangelo was Tizian

You are very good and kind,Monsieur

Very good and kind,Monsieur

He was taken to Venice by his father, where he studied under Giovanni Bellini

One of his fellow students there and his friend was Giorgione

And when Giorgione died in 1511 Tizian finished some of his pictures for him

Daddy

Daddy

Who is that speaking?

Oh,Mr Dickson

I am afraid that Miss Arlette is not well enough to come to the telephone

Is there any message?

Yes,Sir,I'll tell her

Mr Dickson was on the telephone

You did tell him I was ill?

Yes,Miss

What did he say?

He said he was sorry that you were not enjoying good health

and he wished you a speedy recovery

Hedges!

Yes,Miss

My father wonderfully,told to ring him there quickly? Quickly

I've something I want him to do for me

Quickly

Continental lines,please

I want to speak to Paris Passy 3721

Thank you

Btw Miss Hallam had a request from Arlette Tesserau's father

He is very anxious

she shan't behind of our work because she has to stay at home

What does he want?

He wants me to give her private tuition until she gets back to Littleton

He is very keen on her to get a fellow eduction in Art

The eduction I gather from Miss Hallam that he lacks himself

He probably wants her to help him in his art business when she leaves school

Yes,still I don't relish the idea

of going to London two or three evenings a week

There's an excellent train service

every half hour and a bus from here and 10 minutes to the station

I bet they are going to capering you, knowing Arlette

Yes,of course the money would be useful,wouldn't it?

It certainly would

Miss Arlette is waiting for you in her sitting room,Sir

Thank you,how is she this evening?

Much better now

Mr Arnold Dickson

Good Evening

Good Evening,Mr Dickson

I'm so sorry I can't stand up but I'm feeling so very weak

I'm sorry to hear that

Sit down,please

This must be an awful bother for you

but you see my father insisted

No bother at all

I shouldn't have told him how clever you are

and how much you have taught me already

No,I felt very guilty when you strained your heart fencing

must be that afternoon when we were..

Perhaps,you can never tell what will happen with the heart

No,I suppose not

Since you've been away we..

Thank you for phone message

I wanted to find out how you were

As I was saying

Since you've been away we got on to Leonardo da Vinci

And I think the best thing we can do this evening

is to try and catch up on as much as lost time as possible

I quite agree

And then next time I come we can get on with the poets

You know

Away from school you look so different

Different?

Not so stern much,much younger

Come on,please,you mustn't waste time

No,I don't want to waste time

but

but what?

Why do you wear those funny spectacles?

They are not even round ones

You would be quite good looking without them

I wear them because I need them

Do stop making personal remarks, we'll get on with our work,come on

Well,dear,any news?

No

Where are your glasses?

In my pocket

Put them on,straining your eyes

You know,I read an article the other day by an oculist

He said the more you use glasses, the more you need them

It strengthens the eyes to leave them off

What a funny idea

I do no want need glass I wouldn't bother I should have thought
