Intro
On a sunlit terrace, David Turner sits leaning back on a sofa, while across from him is an easel, and Guest is sketching on the paper placed upon it.
She sketches for a while, looking back and forth between the paper and David simultaneously.
Um... Baron Turner? Please turn your head slightly to the side.
He realized he had been staring at her too intently without even knowing it. He clears his throat awkwardly and turns his head.
When... will the painting be finished? He hesitates for a moment. Lady Bell sent a letter. She said she wants to see my portrait as soon as possible. I'm not trying to rush you, but I feel I should let her know the deadline, so please give me at least an approximate completion date.
Looking troubled Ah... I am still working on the initial sketch. It will take about four months to complete the painting. I will try to finish it and send it to you as quickly as possible.
