She dropped her eyes, and then raised them gaily to his. "Mother is still asleep," she whispered. "Hermione!" he cried, dropping his palette and putting his brush behind his ear. She held out her arms to him. As everybody remembers, "When the Heart is Young," by Paul Samways, was the feature of the Exhibition.
"How do you do, Mr Samways?" said the Duchess. "G good-afternoon," said Paul, embarrassed both by the presence of a duchess in his studio and by his sudden discovery that he was touching up a sunset with a tube of carbolic tooth-paste. "Our mutual friend, Lord Ernest Topwood, recommended me to come to you."
And perhaps I ought to add that that is the drawback to this fine profession. One is so often misunderstood. MR PAUL SAMWAYS was in a mood of deep depression. The artistic temperament is peculiarly subject to these moods, but in Paul's case there was reason why he should take a gloomy view of things.
"It is beautiful!" said Lady Hermione, with enthusiasm. "Beautiful! Is it at all like me?" Paul looked from her to the picture, and back to her again. "No," he said, "not a bit. You know, I am really a landscape painter." "What do you mean?" she cried. "You are Peter Samways, A.R.A., the famous portrait painter!" "No," he said sadly. "That was my secret. I am Paul Samways.
Indeed, one of his first acts after he was married was to give a commission to Peter Samways, A.R.A. nothing less than the painting of his wife's portrait. And Lady Hermione was delighted with the result. The New Bailey was crowded with a gay and fashionable throng. It was a remarkable case of shop-lifting.
The men from the gas-works, the masons, and blacksmiths, were to be marched in by Luke Samways. Tom Wealdon would, himself, in passing, give the men at the coal-works a hint. Sir Harry's invasion was the most audacious thing on record; and it was incumbent on Gylingden to make his defeat memorably disgraceful and disastrous.
A member of the Amateur Rowing Association, it is true, but only an unknown landscape painter. Peter Samways lives in the next studio, and he is not even a relation." "Then you have deceived me! You have brought me here under false pretences!" She stamped her foot angrily. "My father will not buy that picture, and I forbid you to exhibit it as a portrait of myself."
