I'd so like to know." Marie smiled at the eagerness of her visitor. "I tell you, then. It was Mr. Gus Peters, who want somebody to make him one easel, with a drawing-board that will slide up and down easy, for one nice sharp knife with three blade that he will give in exchange. He laugh w'en he say it, as if he think it no use, though." "But it ought to be of use. Let's think, Marie.
The duchess had to witness many similar outrages later when she saw George in the school to which the stone-mason sent his promising apprentice. Alas! how long the poor child had to bend over his drawing-board and his slate doing dreadful sums, whereas Wendelin only studied two hours a day under a considerate tutor who gently coaxed him along the paths of learning.
Last, she remembered with a keen sense of pleasure the chivalrous look in his face when he held out his hand to the man who a moment before had received its full weight about his throat. She had not regained mastery of herself even when she leaned across her drawing-board, pretending to be absorbed in her work.
After the carrying would come supper, and the worn-out cart-horse which had brought it afield from the Parsonage stood at the foot of the knoll among the unladen kegs and baskets, patiently whisking his tail to keep off the flies, and serenely indifferent that a lean and lanky youth, seated a few yards away with a drawing-board on his knee, was attempting his portrait.
Here everything helps me. What are you at work on, Miss Grant?" "I'm doing the Milo, too; my seat is right in front of yours. Oh! what a good beginning," and she bent over his drawing-board. "Why, this can't be your first week," and she scanned it closely. "One minute a little too full under the chin, isn't it?"
Leigh drew back and held up her drawing-board. "It's just like you, Leigh. You always were an artist, but when did you learn all the technique? Is that what you call it? How do you do it?" "I don't know," Leigh answered frankly. "It seems to do itself." "And why do you do it? Or why don't you do more of it?" Thaine asked.
She took it with a little mock curtsey, pouting her lip slightly, as if drawing the Venus was work not much to her taste smiled when she saw Valentine shaking his head, and frowning comically at her then went away at once to the drawing-board, and sat down opposite Venus, in which position she offered as decided a living contradiction as ever was seen to the assertion of the classical idea of beauty, as expressed in the cast that she was about to copy.
Madame de F. Who who was that, Ethel? What odd dresses you wore in the time of the Empire, Madame de Florac! How could you ever have such high waists, and such wonderful fraises! Enter SAINT JEAN, preceding a gentleman with a drawing-board under his arm. Saint Jean. Clive. How do you do, Madame la Comtesse? Mademoiselle, j'ai l'honneur de vous souhaiter le bon jour.
Blyth laid aside his drawing-board, and Mat put on his flannel waistcoat; not listening the while to one word of the many fervent expressions of gratitude addressed to him by the painter, but appearing to be in a violent hurry to array himself in his coat again. As soon as he had got it on, he put his hand in one of the pockets, and looked hard at Valentine.
I say, Blyth, is that the statue of an ancient Greek patient, suffering under the prescription of an ancient Greek physician?" "Will you hold your tongue and take up your drawing-board?" cried Mr. Blyth. "You young barbarian, you deserve to be expelled my academy for talking in that way of the Dying Gladiator. Now then; where's Madonna? No! stop where you are, Zack.
