Then he said, “But you haven’t promised to sit for me. And there’s one other thing. I'd rather, for very excellent and entirely personal reasons, that Abbie and her friends didn't know about it. Not until the portrait is done, anyway. Would you promise that, too?” “Why. I suppose so.” She hardly knew what to say.
