There was always the chance, too, that the doctor might look in for a moment at tea-time, and though he was discretion itself, and never gossiped about his patients, it was interesting to gather from his face whether he was anxious, or the reverse, as to any special case. This afternoon, therefore, Mrs Hunt's drawing-room presented a busy and animated scene.
His small fishy eyes, however, with a cast in them that was next door to a squint, belied the promise. He came up to Hunt's stirrup and gave him joy of his freedom very loudly. "And you will find all well at home," he continued. "All well and hearty."
Hunt's to gossip with her, which we did alone, and were very merry, and did give her a cup and spoon for my wife's god-child, and so home by coach, and I late reading in my chamber and then to bed, my wife being angry that I keep the house so late up. 11th.

So your grandfather went down to fetch her home. I'll always believe he really wanted to punish her for going against his will.

He found in his new place another clerk who cared for art; and this sympathy encouraged him to fix his mind upon painting more than ever.

This gave the clerks much amusement, and also attracted attention to Holman Hunt's genius.
Lord Byron mistook Hunt's political notoriety for literary reputation, and Mr Hunt thought it was a fine thing to be chum and partner with so renowned a lord. After all, however, the worst which can be said of it is, that formed in weakness it could produce only vexation.
