He answered 'No, really, Calvotti, old man, that's rot, you know.
Now he took the change in silver and copper from my landlady, said 'Eight, and nothing more, and then set the pictures one by one on the easel and looked at them all in turn.

'No, he said again; 'not this picture, And for one minute he regarded it, and then shook his head and once more said 'No. 'Well, I answered, not trying to persuade him, 'I will ask Mr. Gregory to look at it, and he will give you a commission for a work, and then you will be fairly afloat.
