This time it was not a group of surgeons, but a company of Amsterdam musketeers marching out under the leadership of their captain, Frans Banning Cocq. In all these civic or military Regent pictures, each member subscribed a sum towards the artist's fee, and consequently each individual wished to have his money's worth in the shape of an accurate presentation of his face and form.
You must wait till the screening evergreens grow before Oh, you audacious I haven't promised anything." "I promise everything. I'm engaged, and only taking my retaining- fees." "Mother," cried Farmer Banning at the dining-room window, "just look yonder!" "And do you mean to say, John Banning, that you didn't expect it?" "Why, Sue was growing more and more offish." "Of course! Don't you remember?"
To-day, as your husband understands, I am a tramp from the city looking for work. I have found it, and have been engaged. Miss Banning, I shall hold you inflexibly to our agreement a pair of overalls and dinner." Sue said a few words of explanation. Her mother laughed, but urged, "Do go and change your dress." "I protest!" cried Mr. Minturn. "The walking-suit and overalls go together."
The new catalogue, the appendices of which are brought down to 1908, frankly describes the picture thus: "The Night Watch, or the Company of Captain Frans Banning Cocq and of Lieutenant van Ruytenburg. The corps is represented in broad daylight, leaving the Doele of the Arquebusiers. At their head, standing in the foreground about the centre, are the Captain and his Lieutenant conversing.
In 1642 the beloved Saskia died, leaving an only child, Titus, whose features are familiar to us in the portrait at Hertford House. As though this were not affliction enough, Rembrandt had the mortification of offending his patrons over the commission to paint Captain Banning Cocq's Company.
Did one of those writers of controversial quartos, heavy as the stone of Diomed, feel a pain in the small of his back? Witchcraft! Unhappily there were always ugly old women; and if you crossed them in any way, or did them a wrong, they were given to scolding and banning.
Banning Cock himself was not among the discontented. A few leading citizens, like Dr. Tulp and the Burgomeister Six, were ever his devoted patrons. Artists still gathered about him; pupils still crowded to his studio; Nicolas Maes, De Gelder, Kneller among them.
This is t' way on 't: up at sun-down: dice, brandy, cloised shutters, und can'le-light till next day at noon: then, t'fooil gangs banning und raving to his cham'er, makking dacent fowks dig thur fingers i' thur lugs fur varry shame; un' the knave, why he can caint his brass, un' ate, un' sleep, un' off to his neighbour's to gossip wi' t' wife.
Margaret Culkin Banning, in The Reader's Digest for August, 1937, summarizes "The Case for Chastity."
In spite of some disadvantages, it would be much the best plan, she decided, to go to her cousins. But never thinking of any such contingency as the one that had arisen, she had left her address book at Harding, and she had a very poor memory for numbers. She remembered vaguely one hundred twenty-one, and was sure that cousin Will Banning lived on East Seventy-second Street.
