At Suxberry House, when we had got our task done, and finished with the writing-master and the drawing-master, and when we had practised for the music-master, and all that, we might be as idle as we pleased, and do what we liked out of school-hours you know that was very pleasant: I assure you, you'd like being at Suxberry House amazingly."
He bought him painting-materials; and instead of sending him to a "school of design," or putting him under the tutelage of some third-rate drawing-master, such as is commonly found in country towns, he bought him a picture by Decamps, an artist since become famous, but then just in the dawn of his fame, and put it before his son as a model.
Loch Awe revisited. A customer. I determine to learn French well. A tour in Wales. Swimming. Coolness on account of my religious beliefs. My guardian. Evil effects of religious bigotry. Refuge in work. My drawing-master. Our excursion in Craven. After returning to the country I went through another militia training, and soon afterwards resigned my commission.
My guardians designed me for the medical profession. I began my studies at Edinburgh, and was sent to Paris to complete them, It so chanced that there I lodged in the same house with an artist named Auguste Duval, who, failing to gain his livelihood as a painter, in what for his style was ambitious is termed the Historical School, had accepted the humbler calling of a drawing-master.
"Are you such a fool, Ethel, as to be hankering after that young scapegrace, and his yellow beard? His drawings are very pretty.

I'm sure I always heard Miss Pinkerton say that he did not touch them he only mounted them." "It was called mounting, Mamma. Rebecca remembers the drawing, and her father working at it, and the thought of it came upon her rather suddenly and so, you know, she "

'The whole business was unfortunate; it was I need not disguise it from you it was illegal from the first: the more reason that I should try to behave like a gentleman, concluded Pitman, flushing. 'I have nothing to say to that, returned the lawyer.
A simple oval outline would include it all, if you connected the points of the leaf; but how much richer is it than that, with its half-dozen deep scollops, in which the eye and thought of the beholder are embayed! If I were a drawing-master, I would set my pupils to copying these leaves, that they might learn to draw firmly and gracefully.
Austin had been away from England for many years, if his own statement were to be believed. It must have been abroad, therefore, that Clarissa had known him in her school-days. He had been drawing-master, perhaps, in the seminary at Belforet. What more likely? Miss Granger cherished the peculiar British idea of all foreign schools, that they were more or less sinks of iniquity.
The sun had come out and the air was crisp. The crowds in the street did not look quite so cold and mean. After hunger had been satisfied, "Johnny Crapaud" concluded to stay long enough to catch a glimpse of the Louvre, that marvel of marvels! The Louvre had been glowingly described to him by his old drawing-master at Cherbourg.
