53/72 Her father is the most popular portrait painter in the country, I am almost tempted to say that he is the most popular _man_, as well. All the old charm and magnetism are there. Sometimes I watch him (for, of course, I _do_ go out with him once in a while), and always I think of that first day I saw him at college. Brilliant, polished, witty--he still dominates every group of which he is a member. Men and women alike bow to his charm. |
