Дрок 2
Olaf and Pedro Discuss Their Plans
PEDRO: How much longer are you staying in England, Olaf?
OLAF: Well, I don't quite know, but I shall be here for another year at any rate, probably two years.
PEDRO: That's good. I shall be here for at least another year.
OLAF: What are you going to do when you leave Mr. Priestley's?
PEDRO: I want to go to Cambridge. I discussed all this with my father before I left home and he said that he wanted me to spend a year in Paris and a year in Germany so that I could get a really good knowledge of French and German. Then he wanted me to spend two or three years with Mr. Priestley and try for an English degree at Cambridge.
OLAF: Have you enjoyed your stay in England?
PEDRO: Oh yes, very much. I knew it would be pleasant but I didn't think I should meet such interesting people. But what are you going to do when you leave England?
OLAF: I am going into my father's business, a shipping company.
PEDRO: That will be very interesting.
OLAF: Yes, I think so. At first I didn't think it would and I wanted something quite different. I thought life in an office was very dull.
PEDRO: What did you want to do?
OLAF: I wanted to be an artist and paint pictures. I said that nothing would ever make me go into an office. "The only life for me," I said, "is a life of art. In a few years I shall earn fame and fortune by my pictures." Of course I was only fifteen or sixteen and hadn't much sense.
HOB: I painted a picture once. I showed it to an artist, and do you know what he said about it? He said that my picture would hang in the British Museum long after Rubens and Rembrandt were forgotten.
OLAF: Did he really?
HOB: Yes. But he added, "But not until they are forgotten."

PEDRO: To come back to your story, Olaf, what did your father say?
OLAF: Oh, he was very good about it. He said I could go to the best art teacher in Stockholm and have some lessons. Well, after a week or two the teacher told me that it was a waste of time for him to go on teaching me. "You will never be a painter," he said, "not if you live to be a hundred. Don't come for any more lessons. Go back to your office."
