Fenwick took the remark good-temperedly. 'I've finished three large pictures in eight months if only somebody would buy 'em. And I'm in Paris now' he hesitated a moment 'on a painting job. I never did such a thing before but He looked up uncertainly, his colour rising. 'What? scenery for The Queen's Necklace? I've seen the puffs in the papers. Why not? Hope he pays well.
Between us we have turned many a trick." "You mean that I have pulled you out of many a bad hole," retorted Gottlieb. "As you please," answered Billington good-temperedly.

Billington winked at Gottlieb.
Had her objection come earlier, accompanied by the same proposals, he would have been inclined to listen; but things had gone too far. He wrote, quite good-temperedly, but without shadow of wavering. There was nothing sudden, he pointed out, in the step he was about to take; Alma had known it for months, and had acquiesced in it.
