PLAIN TALK TO HIS LORDSHIP.
♦ A venerable and pompous English Bishop was having his portrait painted by an eminent artist. After sitting steadily for an hour in silence, the Churchman thought he would break the monotony with a remark. " How are you getting along ?" he inquired. To the astonishment of the Bishop, the knight of the palette, absorbed in his work, replied — '♦Move your head a little to the right, and shut your mouth." Not being accustomed to such a form of address, his .Lordship said — " May I ask why you address me in this manner ?" The artist, still absorbed in his work, said — " I want to take off a little off your cheek." The Bishop collapsed.
