Nor need you blame yourself too much, for I have often heard him say that artists must suffer in order to produce beautiful things." "But I cannot remember," Elspeth had to admit, with a sigh, to David, "that she made any answer to that, except 'Thank you." Grizel was nearly as reticent to David himself. Once only did she break down for a moment in his presence.
