might envy.

wildered audience then behold his
clothes detach themselves from
their hooks, move across the floor
and fit themselves on to their own

er and smoother, as if attended by
an invisible brush, till finally it is
beautifully parted, and his collar
fastels around his neck, and his tie
creeps up and arranges itself in q
neat knot; his undone boots lace
themselves up, the laces creeping in
and out Of the eyelet holes and fas-
tening in a bow at the top.
To begin with, the boots were
Photographed unlaced. Then came
a stop to cradle the photographer
to put the laces through the first
eyelet hole. He snapshotted this,
stopped again to put the laces
through another hole, and SO on

Each eyelet hole represented stop

the picture was completed the
