We are inside a passenger car on a railroad during the golden age of train travel. We see two women and a girl sitting on either side of a little girl. On her left is her mother and on her right is a railroad hostess. They are trying to point out to the child all of the wonderful things she will see when they reach their destination as well as the things she can do while riding on the train. The child is having none of it and would rather be anywhere but where she is.

Taut.- Nourished.- reveals the efforts on achievements and superation, overcomes the need to give testimony of the hours of sacrifice and the number of the density of the love for the Art.Mike Helechu 11 May 2009
Cecil, you have a wonderful knack for rendering such plausible scenes. I feel like I'm sitting opposite this threesome, wishing I could retain this image in my brain. You've done all the work for me! It is now an unforgettable picture. You're also a skilled and observant time-traveler. You're right: things don't really change that much over time. Very nicely done.
