England produces countless thousands of lady artists; twenty Englishwomen paint for one Frenchwoman, but we have not yet succeeded in producing two that compare with Madame Lebrun and Madame Berthe Morisot. The only two Englishwomen who have in painting come prominently before the public are Angelica Kauffman and Lady Butler.
Mr. Kauffman struck the table with his open hand. "Not worth the paper it is written on, sir!" he exclaimed. "You cannot force the old customers to come. A stranger will lose them all!" "But what am I to do?" Guest asked uneasily. "If what you say is true, I am a ruined man." "I will swear by the Kaiser that it is true," Mr. Kauffman declared. "Now, listen.
Josie picked up the flashlight and turned it upon the face. "Oh!" she cried aloud, and shivered anew, but was not surprised. "I guess," said Joe slowly, "they'll have to get another school superintendent." "But what's it all about? What did he do?" demanded Kauffman excitedly.
Edwin knelt also, but he faced the others and gazed upon the upturned faces as though they belonged to creatures from another world. When Amanda and Mrs. Kauffman prayed and he saw their faces beaming with the glory of God, he was sure that their prayers were informal, for no books were before them and the words seemed to come from their hearts.
It was the residence of Dorfield's social leader, Mrs. Charleworth. Josie squatted behind that bush for nearly half an hour. Then the glass door opened and Kauffman stepped out. "By the way," he said in a low voice, "it's just as well we didn't take Kasker in with us. He's a loud-mouthed fool. I've tested him and find he blats out everything he knows."
Kauffman is the one I prefer to land." With this in mind, she hurried down, passed out at the front office doorway and turned into a narrow drive at the south of the hotel, which led to the rear alley. A great business block, now dark and deserted, loomed on the other side of the driveway, which was used by the baggage and supply wagons in the daytime.
Josie's quick ears caught the distant sound of a motor car coming down the road. Perhaps Kauffman heard it also. He rose from his seat and going to the table unlocked the black satchel, pressed the top open and looked inside it. Still bending over the satchel he placed a cigarette in his mouth, lighted a match and applied the flame to his cigarette.
But not clever enough to realize he is near the end of his infamous career." Josie's plans, perfected during that afternoon, primarily involved the shadowing of Abe Kauffman every moment, from now on. Abe Kauffman and his black satchel. For it grew dark early at this time of year, and already the brief twilight was fading.
I wish I'd a minded wot she said, 'n I wouldn't be 'ere ter night." Hearing these last words, Sister Kauffman, who had been busy dealing with many souls all of this time, said: "If you mean that, come with Mother Roberts and me down to the mission, a block away. The dear young men workers there will be only too glad to help you." Then we immediately wended our way out.
This early association with a circle of cultured and elegant men and women was doubtless the origin of the self-possession and modest dignity which characterized Angelica Kauffman through life and enabled her becomingly to accept the honors that were showered upon her. Her happy life at Milan ended all too soon.
