Mr. George made memoranda of these sums on his paper, as James named them. "And the tolls," continued James, "will be one guilder and twenty-five cents more." "And the driver?" asked Mr. George.
He and Drene consulted over these for a while, semi-conscious of Quair's bantering voice and the girl's easily provoked laughter behind them. And, finally: "All right, Guilder," said Drene briefly. And the firm of celebrated architects prepared to evacuate the studio Quair exhibiting symptoms of incipient skylarking, in which he was said to be at his best.
Two students besides himself were the only other members of the public, one studying Holbein, the other Blake. The Hermitage, St. The first portfolio that was brought to him contained the Christ Healing the Sick, known as The Hundred Guilder Print, in several states.

It costs very little for me to live." He turned his gray, tired face.
The history of Christ Healing the Sick, known as The Hundred Guilder Print, now the most prized of all the etchings, shows that he did not attach much value, either artistic or monetary, to this plate. At the Holford sale, as has already been noted, £1750 was given for the Hundred Guilder Print.
