Paid work. An easel at the fair on Lincoln.
He pointed at the chair and I sat in it, and then it turned out that you pay at the end, which nobody explains and everybody knows.
My head has been made enormous and the rest of me very small. I was ready to be sorry about this and then I looked at the four he had finished earlier, pegged up behind him, and every one of them has an enormous head and a very small rest. He is not doing it to me. He is doing it, and I was next.
My crown is grey on the paper. It was grey when I sat down. He picked that pencil first and worked down from the top, and by the time he reached my feet it had gone gold and he never looked up again. So what is clipped to that easel is the beginning of the ten minutes, and the rest of them happened to me alone.
Office annotationPayment rendered, twenty dollars, United States. This is the second expenditure of the Correspondent's on record. Ten minutes is 1.49 kadd; a Slarvathian would have written one sull, which cannot be converted. Both are entered. The likeness is not accurate.
