His love of the obscure and the suggestive led to the common refusal of his portraits by patrons, who complained that they lacked distinctness. No painter, however, commands such large prices as he, and from L2000 to L3000 is no rare figure for his canvases. H. W. Mesdag is Holland's most celebrated sea painter.
Which gave me much concern, for it was very beautifully wrought of rare stone, such as I had no knowledge of. Much I grieved that it were not possible to carry it away. But time and desert journeyings forbade such; I could only take with me such small matters as could be carried on the person.
"My choice," he wrote in characteristic words, "was not between a clearly right and clearly wrong course how easy is it to deal with such cases, and how rare are they in life but between several difficulties.

Verena looked at her friend with a degree of majesty which, with her, was rare.

"Well," said Gypsy, as the most appropriate comment suggesting itself; "you are rather different from Mrs. Littlejohn!" Peace smiled. There was something rare about Peace Maythorne's smile.

"You make me believe in God's mercy." There was a quick movement in the group and Smith was kneeling beside the dying man. "God's mercy, Mr. Raven," he said in an eager voice, "is infinite. Why should you not believe in it?"
