He realized that he had lost reputation, which had scarcely been regained by his consent to the use of the hounds and giving Dyck Calhoun a free hand, as temporary head of the militia. He could not put him over the regular troops, but as the general commanding was, in effect, the slave of Dyck Calhoun, there was no need for anxiety.
He made tearful promises to his beautiful Anna that he would return for her in a year. And so the servant, who had become an expert in the making of Dutch cheese, caught the horses out of the pasture, and having rebroken them, the cavalcade started southward in good sooth. It was four years before Van Dyck returned.
They glibly answer, "No, no, love is not all it's only a small part of life simply incidental!" But Van Dyck continued to sigh, and all of his spare time was taken up in painting pictures of the matronly Isabella.
He left his brother artist much relieved and happier, and he afterward said: "The impression on my mind was that his regret at losing life was principally the regret of leaving his art." As Reynolds left the dying man's room, Gainsborough called after him: "We are all going to heaven and Van Dyck is of the company."

"Or a Whistler etching for twenty-five pounds, I could get you, now, a very fine " "No, thank you, Mr. Watkins," Uncle Ezra said, firmly.
"Nothing? Don't you think that's a strong list of grievances and wrongs?" Dyck nodded. "Yes, it's pretty strong," he said, and he held up his hand. "Number One, wages and cost of living. I'm sure we're right there. Cost of living was down in King Charles's time, and wages were down accordingly. Everything's gone up, and wages should go up. Number Two, the prize-money scandal.
