But," added he, "when I say so, they tell me I am mistaken, and that before the end of six months he will run mad." He told me, "he approved of the nuns, which had been under the care and instruction of Father La Combe, finding them to come up fully to what he had heard of them."
Nevertheless, I must assert, for my own satisfaction, that in many even of our most imperial artists, in the brothers Spenser and the brothers Nash, in Mr. Lewis, Mr. Roberts, Mr. Bomberg, and Mr. Lamb, I discover plenty of ability; only I cannot help fancying that they may have mistaken the nature of their gifts. Were they really born to be painters? I wonder.

"I have been thinking very deeply during the last fortnight of life, of love, of our marriage, of our duties to each other.

"Mistaken? About me, do you mean?" "Yes; I had made up my mind that you were well, one sort of fellow, and now I see that you are an entirely different sort. That is, you've shown that you can be different."

"Mark him, Caesar," said the farmer to the dog, "mark him."
