"I should imagine," said our rising local artist, with a meditative squint at the picture, "that the fault was in the technique rather than in the subject-matter of the portrait." "Precisely," said Josephine, triumphantly. "Besides, Mr. Binkey says it needs varnishing." What can one say in the teeth of professional authority?

"Well, I don't know!" he said "You may call it a knowledge of the world if you like I call it an unpleasant glimpse into the shady side of life. I'd rather walk in the sunshine." "And what would you call the sunshine, sir?" asked Bunce, with his head very much on one side like a meditative bird.
"They have gone off for the day," she said, with a kind look. "To Dorking, and Leith Hill, and I don't know where." Piers felt a stab through the heart.
