She was the only child of a drawing-master or artist named Auguste Duval, and probably enough her Christian name would have been derived from her mother. A Mademoiselle de Mauleon, then, married M. Auguste Duval?" "Yes; the old Vicomte had espoused en premieres noces Mademoiselle Camille de Chavigny, a lady of birth equal to his own; had by her one daughter, Louise.
'Mr Finsbury is indeed an acquisition, he remarked to himself; and as he entered the little parlour, where the table was already laid for breakfast, the cordiality of his greeting would have befitted an acquaintanceship already old. 'I am delighted to see you, sir' these were his expressions 'and I trust you have slept well. 'I am delighted to hear it, said the drawing-master warmly.
"I think I may require the service of one of those officers whom we in England call detectives; but if you are busy now, I can call to-morrow." "I spare you two minutes. Say at once, dear Monsieur, what you want with law or police." "I am instructed to find out the address of a certain Louise Duval, daughter of a drawing-master named Adolphe Duval, living in the Rue in the year 1848."
Byles, or had played with interesting babies on the North Meadow, as did Topp, the drawing-master Augustus de Lacy Topp who wore a brown velvet jacket and represented sentiment in a form verging on lunacy; or if he had invited his classes to drink coffee in a very shabby little home, as poor Moossy did, and treated them to Beethoven's Symphonies, then even Jock Howieson, the stupidest lad in the Seminary, would have been shocked, and would have felt that the Creation was out of gear.

Miserable with this man, on finding by the documents I refer to that she was my niece, she came to me for comfort and counsel.

I had nobody to speak to on that subject, except my old drawing-master, Mr.
The doctor looked at her with a sardonic smile; he thought it likely that he had discovered her sweetheart. "Who is Mr. Alban Morris?" he asked. "The drawing-master at Miss Ladd's school." Doctor Allday dropped the subject: masters at ladies' schools were not persons who interested him.
