Sargent was among them, and after hearty greetings were over, Joel outlined the programme: "After leaving the Republican," said he, "there's water between here and home in two places. None of them are over thirty miles apart a day and a half's drive. I have a bill of health for these cattle, and turn the herd down the river in the morning."
In his twenty-third year he painted a fine picture of his master. Sargent was a musician as well as a painter; a man of great versatility, as if the gods and all the muses had presided at his birth. In this picture of the famous Spanish dancer Sargent shows all the life and character he can put into a portrait. The girl seems on the point of springing into motion.
"Not here," said Lieutenant Grover, "he is mending Sargent Street's breeches." Many a queer thing occurred then that would make a queer book, I assure you. There is much that is characteristic both to be seen and heard in every harbour in this province, the right way is to jot all down. Every place has its standing topic.

When he has accomplished his task he will have painted not man insignificant before nature but man dominating nature.

"Get out early, and keep your eyes open for any trace of cattle crossing the line," Sargent called back, as he reined homeward. "Dell and I will leave The Wagon at daybreak."
Well, Sargent has always been enamored of puttering around a garden somewhere in an alias and old trousers with me to make him lemonade when he gets overheated and so far I've humored him but I've really never thought very much of the idea. That would be for me a particularly stupid way of going to seed." She was wholly in earnest now.
I am now going out to hear more words fall from the great man, and so farewell. Seymour and I began work yesterday on the Dictator. It went very smooth. All my love to Noll and to you. Read the other letter first and then, let me tell you that when I went out to see Sargent, I found Cecil complaining that she could not understand just how it was he wanted Janet to pose.

But this criticism must not be understood as a reproach surely this green field growing is more pleasing than the Academy's barren stubble.
"A ham," she remarked reflectively, "must feel like this. Just a necklace."... I attempted, I think, some commonplace compliment. My uncle appeared at the door in a white waistcoat and with his hands in his trouser pockets; he halted and surveyed her critically. "Couldn't tell you from a duchess, Susan," he remarked. "I'd like to have you painted, standin' at the fire like that. Sargent!
