The Cover
Walking around an art museum brings joy and peace to the soul, and to the lower extremities brings aches, walker's cramp and faltering locomotion as if the muscles have moldered into oatmeal. A similarly exhausting thing to do with legs affects, oddly, on one of the sexes; when a great, powerful man follows his wife through some stores while she shops, not fatigue, but blind staggers is what he winds up with, whereas the weak little woman finishes tippy-toeing on clouds.

Getting back to the lady with the cooling feet, she's lucky to have found an exquisite (hardwood) bench, for some museums only put one every quarter of a mile.

That ancient painting wasn't copied exactly from an old master of the Venetian school, but interpreted in that mood by young master Steve Dohanos.
