There is little or nothing to add after this as to the Jeune Homme au Gant, except that as a representation of aristocratic youth it has hardly a parallel among the master's works except, perhaps, a later and equally admirable, though less distinguished, portrait in the Pitti.

THE verdict was a thunder-clap to Richard Hardie: he had promised Thomas to bear him blameless.
