"You Don't Have To Look Your Best"
-Says
Aunt
Daisy
I had never met Aunt Daisy. / When she came to my studio to let me draw her for you I was surprised at two ‘things-how little she is-and how alert. Then it’s more than just a bright voice-it’s real energy, I thought, watching her arrange my pocket mirror on the window sill to push her hair into place. I was surprised at that hair, too. Somehow or other I’d got the impression that it was dark. Photographs play tricks with people’s colourings. I thought again ... I could have sworn that her eyes would be brown. But they’re not. They’re blue. And her hair is true blonde, worn sleekly on top and rolled trimly at the nape of the neck. "The best of being drawn is that you don’t have to look your best!" she said, enigmatically. "I don’t need to put this bothersome net on, do I-or face the light-or even stop chattering . . . Do I? It’s such a help to chatter .. ." She is like a friendly bird, I thought.
