Elizabeth Eliza, meanwhile, was trying her grammar phrases with the Parisian. She found it easier to talk French than to understand him. But he understood perfectly her sentences. She repeated one of her vocabularies, and went on with "J'ai le livre." "As-tu le pain?" "L'enfant a une poire." He listened with great attention, and replied slowly.
No? To get a job! He and father have disagreed dreadfully." "Oh! I am so sorry," murmured Louise. She would not ask any further questions. She was troubled, however, by this information, for L'Enfant Terrible seemed to have said it significantly. Louise wondered very much what had caused the quarrel between Lawford and his father.
"Ford has the advantage, however, if he will take it. He's too modest." Mrs. Tapp's face suddenly paled and she clasped a plump hand to her bosom. "Oh, girls!" she gasped. "Now what, mother?" begged Prue. "What will I. Tapp say?" "Oh, bother father!" scoffed L'Enfant Terrible. "He doesn't care what Ford does," Prue said.
"You're only a child. I wish you'd learn your place and keep it." "Oh, fudge!" responded L'Enfant Terrible, not deeply impressed by these sisterly admonitions. Marian was twenty-six two years Lawford's senior. She was a heavy, lymphatic girl, fast becoming as matronly of figure as her mother.

Three of the girls were those Louise Grayling believed to be daughters of Lawford's employer. She saw that he was breaking away from the group with the intention of coming to her. L'Enfant Terrible said something to him and laughed shrilly. She saw Lawford's cheek redden. So Louise welcomed the approach of Mr. Bane, who chanced at the moment to be idle.
She had short and frizzly hair, and she showed us how she did it, gathering the four corners as if it were a handkerchief, with the ends sticking up on the top of her head. She smoked cigarettes all the time she was working. She posed Nina in the attitude she thought interesting, with head down and eyes up a rather tiring position. And to keep l'enfant quiet she devised all sorts of things.
Now I will ask my readers to imagine my bringing the pictures "Le Linge" and "L'Enfant a l'Epee" over from France, and submitting them to the judgment of the Manchester Corporation. As well might I submit to them a Velasquez or a Gainsborough signed Smith and Jones!
In 1867 at the Laperlier sale the Pourvoyeuse was sold for four thousand and fifty francs to the Louvre, and forty years later the Louvre gave three hundred and fifty thousand francs to Madame Emile Trépard for Le Jeune Homme au Violon and l'Enfant au Toton. Diderot truly prophesied that the hour of reparation would come. He is a master of discreet tonalities and a draughtsman of the first order.
As poet-painters, none admires these great artists more than I, but the moment we consider them as painters we have to compare the handicraft of the decoration entitled "Summer" with that of Francis the First meeting Marie de Medicis; we have to compare the handicraft of the Sower and the Angelus with that of "Le Bon Bock" and "L'enfant a Pepee"; and the moment we institute such comparison does not the inferiority of Chavannes' and Millet's handicraft become visible even to the least initiated in the art of painting, and is not the conclusion forced upon us that however Manet may be judged inferior to Millet as a poet, as a painter he is easily his superior?
