"Are you sketching the castle, Mister?
Why do you want to do that? It's all in ruins!
Oh, so a man called Mr. Blake of Portland Place asked you to make a watercolour of this castle?
Why did he ask for that? Surely a new castle would be better?
And is that a cow you're sketching just now? Why are you sketching the cow?
They're not very pretty. I'd like to be an artist when I grow up and make a lot of money from painting cows.
No, actually, horses and hounds are better, don't you agree, Mister?"

Murderous thoughts pass through your mind briefly.
How about showing him some of your drawings of dogs and horses? He'd like them.

"I'll paint the one with the horse and dog in when I'm as old as you, Sir.
Don't you agree that that's the better one?
Oh, alright, I will let you get on with your work.
Goodbye, Sir, and thank you for the penny, sir."
