No young duchess, on her first appearance at Court, was ever more spitefully criticised than the new boy by the youths in his division.
So it came that he was with them while scarcely of them, and that Mrs. Appleman, who could not comprehend, belonged to the majority. It must not be understood that John Appleman was unpopular. On the contrary, each sturdy farmer rather liked while he criticised him.
But he was evidently considerably bothered by this defamer, this jealous fellow who had criticised him, and tried to belittle his exploit. If not Paulsberg, who then? Who among them had done better during the last two and a half years? Irgens knew nobody; among the younger writers he was absolutely paramount.
It was very flattering to his self-esteem. The master had come! The house was in commotion.

Yet it must be remembered that he now had at Alessandria less than 20,000 effectives, and that 30,000 Austrians in isolated bodies were practically at the mercy of the French between Savona and Brescia.
Certainly in a garden the noise of insects seems as essentially beautiful a thing as the noise of birds or the noise of the sea. Even these have been criticised, especially by persons who suffer from sleeplessness, but their beauty is affirmed by the general voice of mankind.
Michael, a picture which evoked much interest at Rome, and whose coloration was adversely criticised by Sebastiano del Piombo; here also the hand of Giulio is all too apparent, and the picture, moreover, has suffered much in its transference from wood to canvas. 1505, N. wall, the masterly and authentic portrait of Baltazar Castiglione, was executed in 1506.
