Friends & Rivals
“As portraits, they were distinctly average. The first little boy had a sullen, spoiled look on his face completely at odds with the cute head cocked to one side pose and whimsically clutched teddy bear. The three-year-old girl from Oxford looked fat. (Then again, she was fat; there was only so much one could achieve, even with clever lighting.) And her elder sister’s forced smile made her look as if she were in the early stages of rigor mortis.
If she did the sittings again in her own studi...o, Catriona was sure she could do better. But then she’d end up out of pocket and, as Ned Williams kept telling her, this was supposed to be a business. Grimly she placed each of the shots in separate brown envelopes, scribbled the parents’ names on the front and sealed them. She couldn’t afford artistic integrity, at least not this month.
Sighing, she looked out of the window into the cobbled passageway below. Known in Oxfordshire as ‘twittens’, these narrow, hidden paths that wound between medieval workers’ cottages were a feature of the backstreets of Burford.MoreLess
