His theme then became the extreme importance of accuracy, his mode of expression and explanation frankly Ruskinesque. Don't put in meaningless lines every line should be from observation. So with contrast of light and shade fine shading, subtle distinction, everything impossible without care, patience, and trained attention.
There was also Bessie's developing social talent, and above all there was the infinitely complex action and reaction of the man and the wife upon each other.
