"The portrait would hang under the minstrels' gallery with special lighting. He doesn't mind what he pays. It's to commemorate his seventy-fifth birthday. His own idea is that the nation ought to have given it to him, but as the nation doesn't seem to have thought of that, he's giving it to himself. And to posterity, of course."
(from Final Curtain, by Dame Ngaio Marsh)
