He pointed out the paragraph relating to Eldon. 'Keene's writing, eh? said Mutimer thoughtfully. 'Yes, he gave me the paper. Richard rekindled his cigar with deliberation, and stood for a few moments with one foot on the fender. 'Who is the woman? he then asked. 'I don't know her name. Of course it's the same story continued. 'And concluded.
He drew straight on the wood block, with a lead-pencil; his delicate grey lines had to be translated into the uncompromising coarse black lines of printers' ink a ruinous process; and what his work lost in this way is only to be estimated by those who know. True, his mode of expression was not equal to Keene's I never knew any that was, in England, or even approached it but that, as Mr.
It was exceedingly comical, though, and it served its purpose. Jefferson has had the character of Pangloss in his repertory for almost forty years. He first acted it in New York as long ago as 1857, at Laura Keene's theatre, when that beautiful woman played Cicely and when Duberly was represented by the lamented James G. Burnett.
"I was about to remark," said Brimmer practically, "that the insurance on the Excelsior having been paid, her loss is a matter of commercial record; and that, in a business point of view, this plan of Keene's ain't worth looking at. As a private matter of our own feelings purely domestic there's no question but that we must sympathize with him, although he refuses to let us join in the expenses."

"We caused them to be loaded on board at Manila, before Carstens went aboard. He never knew they were in the hold.
Every one who knows Keene's work can imagine how the huge well-fed figure was drawn, and how the coat wrinkled across the back, and how the bourgeois whiskers were indicated. This obscene drawing is matched by many equally odious.
It is also in some of his clerical figures when they are not caricatures, and certainly in "Robert," the City waiter of "Punch." But so irresistible is the derision of the woman that all Charles Keene's persistent sense of vulgarity is intent centrally upon her.
They may be scratchy, feeble, and uncertain, or firm and bold thick and thin straight, curved, parallel, or irregular cross-hatched once, twice, a dozen times, at any angle every artist has his own way of getting his effect. But some ways are better than others, and I think Keene's is the firmest, loosest, simplest, and best way that ever was, and the most difficult to imitate.
