That man will know a painting next time he sees one, and then he won't rest till he has bought a chromo, and so he will go on." "And if he lives long enough, he will buy one of Mr. Forbes's paintings." "But not the one that Miss Lamont is going to sit for." When Mr. King met the party at the dinner-table, the places of Miss Lamont and Mr. Forbes were still vacant.
He assured me that resistance was utterly useless, that bets had passed at the Prince's court on the Englishwoman's being subdued by Lamont before mid-night, and the Prince himself had staked, I know not how much, against those who believed in my obstinacy.
I should think it had been designed by a carpenter, and executed by a stone-mason." "Yes," said the little Lamont, who always fell in with the most abominable opinions the artist expressed; "it ought to have been made of wood, and painted and sanded."
It was nearly two hours ere Victor Lamont, with his hat pulled down over his eyes, quitted the hostelry and his companions, and then he went by a side entrance, first glancing quickly up and down the street to note if there was any one about who would be apt to recognize him. The coast being apparently clear, he stepped out into the street, walked rapidly away, and turned the nearest corner.
I pointed out that if these leaders surrendered, President Cleveland could be made the direct beneficiary, politically, of their composition with the law. Colonel Lamont was a small, alert man with a conciseness of speech and manner that is associated in my memory with the bristle of his red mustache cut short and hard across a decisive mouth.
The scene was a very pretty one, at least the artist thought so, and Miss Lamont said it was lovely, and the Ashley girls declared it was just divine. There was no reason why King should not enjoy the chaff and merriment and the sunset light which touched the group, except that the one woman he cared to serve was enveloped in the attentions of Mr. Meigs.
Too numerous to mention in detail are the many special gifts for research, such as the continual funds for the work of the University Museum supplied by Bryant Walker, '76, of Detroit, or the large telescope and other gifts to the Department of Astronomy by Robert P. Lamont, '91e, of Chicago, or for fellowships, the purchase of books, educational material, and scientific apparatus, as well as the numerous funds left for various designated purposes and administered by the University.
Very reluctantly the woman turned to do his bidding. She saw that she had gone far enough. His mood had changed from a reflective to an angry one, and Victor Lamont was a man to fear when he was in a rage.
In a drawing he shows us how he is going through the process arm-in-arm with his old friend, Tom Armstrong, now the Art-Director of that very English institution, the South Kensington Museum. Armstrong and T.R. Lamont, the man who to this day bears such a striking resemblance to our friend the Laird, had presented du Maurier with a complete edition of Edgar Allan Poe's works.
I knew that if Colonel Lamont said he would help me, there would be no difficulties in my way except those that were large in the person of the President himself. Two days later I received the expected word from Colonel Lamont, and I went to the White House as a man might go to face his own trial.
