"Charlotte: 'I have some more [paintings she recently made] to show you'. Daberlohn: Well, let's meet this evening... .. Isn't it absurd to address each other so formally? You're such a baby – here, let me hold your hand.. ..Real painter's hands'. Charlotte: 'To me they're just ugly'.. ..'You would be a wonderful subject for a portrait -' Daberlohn (to himself) : 'Little girl, if you only knew what one has to go through to be able to paint'."
