I was silent, merely returning the print so that my friend might study the weaknesses of a brother-artist.

"She didn't seem at all bad-looking, any way," said Peter. "Every man to his taste!" growled Lancelot. "She's as platt and uninteresting as a wooden sabot." "There's many a pretty foot in a sabot," retorted Peter, with an air of philosophy. "You think that's clever, but it's simply silly. How does that fact affect this particular sabot?"

"I see I shall have quite a lot to say to Vinrace," said Richard.
