When it was time for lunch, everyone moved to the dining room except for the painter, who continued with his work in the room. Louise finished her meal and returned to the room where George was working on the canvas. She walked around, coming to stand behind him to see the outline that had been painted with shades of beige and pink on it.
"Aren't you going to have lunch, Mr. Steward?" questioned Louise.
"Not yet, milady. Once I start to paint, it becomes hard to leave it without finishing and food doesn't matter. But thank you for asking," replied the man, offering her a slight bow.
"I guess I shall leave you at your craft. If you do feel hungry, you can ask one of the servants," stated Louise.
"Feel free to stand and watch, milady. It doesn't disturb me," he let her know.
