She noted trifles; she saw a painting over Gratton's head a seascape her father had given her for her fourteenth birthday.
The headlands were endless, and each gave us a seascape differing from the one we folded out of sight behind; and a fringe of foam, curving with the coast, stretched like a ribbon before us to mark the way.
On the south wall is a large canvas by the celebrated Menard; but his little seascape on the west wall is more appealing, being one of the most attractive things in the section.
