"Lawson's all right," he said contemptuously, "he'll go back to England, become a fashionable portrait painter, earn ten thousand a year and be an A. R. A. before he's forty. Portraits done by hand for the nobility and gentry!"
If he wanted to get anything to eat that day he must go to Lawson's studio before he went out to luncheon, so he made his way along the Brompton Road to Yeoman's Row. "I say, I'm rather broke till the end of the month," he said as soon as he found an opportunity. "I wish you'd lend me half a sovereign, will you?"
Here I saw Sir J. Lawson's daughter and husband, a fine couple, and also Mr. Southwell and his new lady, very pretty. Thence back, putting in at Dr. Whore's, where I saw his lady, a very fine woman.
He opened his eyes and began to rub them, thinking at first that the bell which he heard was rung to call the boys at Miss Lawson's school. But when he looked around him, he soon discovered that he was not in the school dormitory, and then as he became more wide-awake he remembered where he really was and began to fear that he had slept too long and missed his train.

"Oh, papa, you see I do know a little history enough to accuse that 'young man' of being guilty of sarcasm in the highest degree." "Well done, my Madge! Here, take the paper read me the rest of that speech of young Lawson's.
"I've had the same experience myself." "The Grove?" I said. "Ay, the wud," was the answer in broad Scots. I wanted to see how much he understood. "Mr. Lawson's family is from the Scottish Border?" "Ay. I understand they come off Borthwick Water side," he replied, but I saw by his eyes that he knew what I meant. "Mr.
He and Wade differed in their theories of the situation, and much to Nat Lawson's amusement they had argued with some heat the first night that they happened to meet at the Lawson home; so that the two were somewhat in friendly rivalry, each anxious to prove that he was right, and each determined to play a lone hand.
