"Don't look so angry, Basil. It was at my aunt, Lady Agatha's. She told me she had discovered a wonderful young man who was going to help her in the East End, and that his name was Dorian Gray. I am bound to state that she never told me he was good-looking. Women have no appreciation of good looks; at least, good women have not. She said that he was very earnest and had a beautiful nature.

Heath and I bumped into Mr Graynor at the Farmer’s Market, and he reminded me that the school was in possession of an art book from when I was a student there. He told me that they were changing the display and that I should get my book back.
