And Lennan worked on, waiting. There was always something attractive to him in this young man's broad, good-looking face, with its crisp dark hair, and half-insolent good humour, now so clouded. At last Oliver got up, and went over to the unfinished 'Girl on the Magpie Horse. Turning to it so that his face could not be seen, he said: "You and Mrs.
