There is an excellent fruit and flower piece by him in Dulwich Gallery, and a masterpiece, 'A Vase with Flowers, is in the National Gallery. Andrian Van der Werff was born in 1659, and died in 1722. He is honourably distinguished for his pursuit of the ideal, in which he stood alone among the Dutch artists of his day.

"I met you, I think," I said, "at the picture gallery at Dulwich, and you were kind enough, and and some persons who were with you, to talk to me about a picture there." "Yes; Guido's St. Sebastian. You seemed fond of reading then. I am glad to see you at college." I explained that I was not at college.

She had imagined that she could entrap her father into forgiving her by throwing herself into his arms, or with the mere phrase, "Father, I've come to ask you how I sing."
