I had such good fun reading the book, and putting your name in the place of the celebrated artist; like this 'In delicacy of drawing Fani von Buchberg stands far above all his compeers. For you know when you were celebrated, you would be spoken of so; for they always take the name of their birth-place, instead of their family name; and that would be particularly nice, because Hopli isn't a very good name, but Fani von Buchberg sounds finely, doesn't it?
