The collecter of old masters is very fond of art baked by Maud's own lily-white hands Anything artistic pleases him immensely, provided it is authen- tic and the investment is a good one The critic. Tracy has to go to all the art exhibitions, being a newspaper art critic, and maybe he doesn't get tired of por- traits and landscapes and nudes rollicking on the greensward. The Victorian menace.
