And the beanstalk grew and grew as Jack watched on, thinking that perhaps he had somehow opened the wrong storybook. He looked down at the small box of beans in his hand, wondering.
It didn’t take long to decide. Jack placed the box in a safe place and began to climb the beanstalk. By the time he was halfway up Jack caught sight of one small patch of shiny red laquer.

Why are you doing this George?
Overpainting my paintings. I try my best to paint cups. Oh no, you don’t love cups … so … instead of going out and finding what is lovable to you … Instead you peck at my work with your bill until my lovely … Why just this morning it happened again. I was trying to paint a cup and you turned it into something hideous.
Your portrait? But George, how do you justify trying to transform my cup art into portraits of yourself.
Besides, they look nothing like you … Not remotely … Not even the right colour … A stylist! What do you mean you are thinking of going to a stylist for a touch-up and wanted to visualize what the result would look like …
I’ll tell you what … Just plain ridiculous is what you’ll look like. What is wrong with black and white. You tell me, George.
No George, I don’t have a black and white cup. Why, George?
George … No … Please … I don’t wish to have my delicate pastel cups spray-painted black and white to camoflage you.
No George you cannot move into my cupboard.

Start up a newspaper full of Grannie stories … Have Helen’s picture on the masthead.
No no George … Not Helen of Troy …
Maybe she could lead a procession of raging Grannies …
All wearing red hats each with an ever so elegant feather
Have the grannies out selling the newspaper. Hmmm wonder if Conrad would like to work with a group of old grannies in red hats … Help them earn a bit of spare change.
We need a whole batch of Grannies just like her George … Well to play her part … Because no one person could ever replace her
Who George? What ghost writer?
Who could possibly replace this larger-than-life personality?
Suppose if she were still alive George … Imagine!
