Ruffing’s Instructions
Your Grace, could you please
refrain from pointing your right
toe in? OK, now, Your Grace,
could you please not bite your
lower lip? Great. Now, Your
Grace, please, please, just
clasp your hands behind your
back. Because, sir, that little
twiddling thing you’re doing
with your sideburn is a little
distracting. No, not one touching
your cross. Both behind your
back. Like you’re a Peanuts
character. Great. OK, now
smile! OK, without the wink!
Perfect.

girl” foot in photoshop)
