Gustav Klimt two girls with an oleander Painting
¡¡¡¡A display of indifference to all the actions and passions of mankind was not supposed to be such a distinguished quality at that time, I think, as I have observed it to be considered since. I have known it very fashionable indeed. I have seen it displayed with such success, that I have encountered some fine ladies and gentlemen who might as well have been born caterpillars. Perhaps it impressed me the more then, because it was new to me, but it certainly did not tend to exalt my opinion of, or to strengthen my confidence in, Mr. Jack Maldon. ¡¡¡¡'I came out to inquire whether Annie would like to go to the opera tonight,' said Mr. Maldon, turning to her.
