Look at this picture.
Who is he?

:05:09
That's Minty O'Hare's son-- the
boys' English teacher from Exeter.

:05:14
He wants a summer job.
:05:16
He wants to be a writer.
:05:18
What would he do for you?
:05:20
lt's mainly for the experience,
l suppose.

:05:23
l mean, if he's thinking about becoming a writer,
he should see how one works, see what it takes.

:05:30
What would he actually do for you?
:05:33
Mmm, well--
:05:42
l've been thinking.
:05:46
l want to try separating...
for the summer.

:05:54
Just temporarily.
:06:28
So you began your career writing novels?
:06:30
Yes, but they were terrible novels. Uh,
unfortunately l had to write three of them...

:06:36
before l realized
l am not a writer of adult fiction.

:06:40
l am simply a entertainer of children,
and l like to draw.

:06:44
Edward, don't be nervous
because he's famous.

:06:47
He's an Exonion.
:06:50
His sons were charming boys...
:06:52
but... mediocre students.
:06:56
Why do cautionary tales for children come so
naturally to you? They were both in my class.

:06:59
Well, l think l can imagine
their fears and express them.
