I didn't like to see the poor things left to die." From the bitter accent of these words Martin understood that they had been the little model's. "Put them outside," he said; "they'll never live in here. They want watering, too. Where are your saucers?" Mrs. Hughs laid the baby down, and, going to the cupboard where all the household gods were kept, brought out two old, dirty saucers.
Von Herman's thoughts were evidently elsewhere. "Just wanted to tell you that that cussed model's skipped out. Gone with a show. Just when I had the whole series blocked out in my mind. He was a wonder. No brains, but a marvel for looks and style. These people want real stuff. Don't know how I'm going to give it to them now." Hupp sat up. "Got to!" he snapped. "Campaign's late, as it is.
Good-bye. And with a wave of the hand as much like her model's as she could make it, Josie departed, looking very pretty and feeling very tragical. Sure now of admittance, she boldly rang at the door which excluded so many, and being ushered into a shady parlour, feasted her eyes upon several fine portraits of great actors while she waited.
French." "Yes who?" "Mr. Lennard. He's a sculptor; he's got a studio in Chelsea. He wants me to pose to him." "Ah!" She stole a glance at Hilary, and hung her head. Hilary turned to the window. "You know what posing to a sculptor means, of course?" The little model's voice sounded behind him, matter-of-fact as ever: "He said I was just the figure he was looking for."
No; I could not possibly doubt the genuineness of my model's spontaneous talk, especially as in those days he had had no reason for expecting anything from me, and he had most certainly not demanded anything.
Britt watched the model's operations with lackluster eyes; he seemed to be looking through the little doors and at something else that was not visible to the inventor. Mr. Harnden was short and roly-poly, with a little round mouth and big round eyes, and a curlicue of topknot that he wagged in emphasis as a unicorn might brandish his horn. Mr. Harnden considered that he was a good talker.
The conditions of Italian art, on the other hand, favoured an opposite tendency to particularise, to enforce detail, to emphasise the artist's own ideal or the model's quality. When the type of a Greek deity had been fixed, each successive master varied this within the closest limits possible.
On the crowded wall, forming the background against which is seen the model's charming profile, is a picture which obviously is a copy of the painting of La Fuite en Egypte by Breughel.
"I don't know that you are just the er type; but perhaps, if you're willing " "Of course I didn't come here as a model," said Myrtle, and sagged on the other hip. "But, as a special favor to you I'm willing to try it at special model's rates." Emma ran a somewhat frenzied hand through her hair. "Then, as a special favor to me, will you begin by trying to stand up straight, please?
His own face did as well as any other to experiment with; none could be offended with the result, and it was always to be had without paying a model's price for the sitting. Thus all through his life, from twenty-two to sixty-three, we can follow the growth of his art with the transformation of his body, in the long series of pictures of his single self.
