Georgiana would chatter nonsense to her canary bird by the hour, and take no notice of me. But I was determined not to seem at a loss for occupation or amusement: I had brought my drawing materials with me, and they served me for both.
Georgiana parlava ore intere col suo canarino, e non si curava di me; io avevo stabilito di occuparmi e di divertirmi, perché avevo la cassetta da dipingere.
