3	Harry Hart is a middle-aged painter. One day, he meets a young man by [[CrashIntoHello running into him on the sidewalk]]. Harry is immediately struck by the young man's appearance, while the other is just irritated, and scoffs at Harry's offer to have him sit for a painting. Harry goes home and sketches the young man from memory.
