I saw he was looking at the dim photograph of memory, and turned from him to Iris. How many drawing-books have you filled, I said, since you began to take lessons?

I turned over the leaves of the book before us.
I waited patiently for the thought, of which this wink was the blossom, to come to fruit in words. I don't believe in witches, said the young man John. Nor I. We were both silent for a few minutes. Did you ever see the young girl's drawing-books, I said, presently. All but one, he answered; she keeps a lock on that, and won't show it.

Their drawing-books were prodigies of neatness, and betrayed that aptness for form and facility of execution which are natural to the Italians.
This was at about twelve years old, as the dates of these drawings show, and, therefore, three or four years before she came among us. Soon after this time, the ideal figures began to take the place of portraits and caricatures, and a new feature appeared in her drawing-books in the form of fragments of verse and short poems.

She helped the children in all their plays, and they were always pleased when she was with them. She had great stores of pasteboard and coloured papers, to make boxes, and portfolios, and little pocket-books, and wallets of; and she had a paint-box, and pencils, and drawing-books, and portfolios of pictures and drawing lessons.
