[Barbara arrives home to find her aunt waiting in the drawing room]
Barbara Everton:
Aunt Laura! I was *so* pleased to get your wire. What brings you to London after all these years?
Aunt Laura:
Your uncle's going to be hung.
[Barbara is stunned, thinking at first of the execution meaning of "hung"]
Barbara Everton:
What?
Aunt Laura:
It's that water-colour of Rosedale Abbey and I must say it's good.
[the penny finally drops]
Barbara Everton:
You mean he's going to be hung in the Royal Academy?
