The boy disappeared with the message. I seized my opportunity of speaking to her. Don't ask me what I said! Do pray remember what you said yourself, the first time you had the chance of opening your heart to your young lady. The boy returned before I had half done, and gave her back the odious document. "Mr. Pickup's very sorry, miss. The answer is, No."
Pickup's class has rather fallen off, and that there are dealers in pictures, nowadays, who are as just and honorable men as can be found in any profession or calling, anywhere under the sun.
I was just on the point of forcing my way into Mr. Pickup's confidence, as I had resolved, when a catastrophe happened, which shut up the shop and abruptly terminated my experience as a maker of Old Masters. "The Burgomaster's Breakfast" had been sold to a new customer, a venerable connoisseur, blessed with a great fortune and a large picture-gallery.
I labeled the bottle "The Amsterdam Cleansing Compound"; and I wrapped round it the following note: "Mr. Pickup's respectful compliments to Mr. Is rejoiced to state that he finds himself unexpectedly able to forward Mr. Green's views relative to the cleaning of 'The Burgomaster's Breakfast. The inclosed compound has just reached him from Amsterdam.
They ducked into the lobby of the nearest building and took the elevator to the top floor. Hawkes stopped a man in a blue uniform and said, "Where's the nearest Shoot pickup?" "Take the North Corridor bridge across to the next building. The pickup's there." "Right." Hawkes led the way down the corridor, up a staircase, and through a door.
We are stopping a long time in the picture-gallery, you will say. I am very sorry but we must stay a little longer, for the sake of a living picture, the gem of the collection. I was still admiring Mr. Pickup's Old Masters, when a dirty little boy opened the door of the gallery, and introduced a young lady. My heart fancy my having a heart! gave one great bound in me.
