[notes are on the reverse side of the paper from the sketch]
Beginning with Mr. Aaldenberg, from the weekend.
I did try to draw him smiling but I'm afraid he only looks like he's grimacing. I promise he was perfectly pleasant, not a gargoyle as he appears here...
I ran out of room to write his name without scrunching up the script and making it illegible, so I had to take a second line. I ought to plan better next time.
Oh! But these notes are meant to be about the gentlemen, not the drawing, aren't they? What was it Helga wrote about him? Now, of course, I can't remember a thing...
In my sketch his eyebrow looks crooked and his tophat lopsided, but only because of my poor drawing skills. He was perfectly well dressed, and I was trying to capture that expression he had — he always seemed so interested in what we were saying even though I'm sure I had nothing interesting to say — but now it only looks as though he has some sort of birth defect afflicting his right eye...
