If Duerer's pictures are as a whole the least satisfactory section of his work, in his portraits he makes us abundant amends for the time he might otherwise have been reproached for wasting to obtain a vain mastery over brushes and pigment. Unfortunately it is probable that many even of these have been lost or destroyed, while of his most interesting sitters we have nothing but drawings.
Most uncomfortable sitting those pillions appeared to afford, and he distinctly remembers the rolling movements to which the sitters seemed to be subjected. This was when the pace was at a walk or a slow jog. But the unfortunate Frances must have been rolled and bumped at speed; for there was a pursuit.
Just do and say what you feel you HAVE to do or say, and leave the results. You cannot, or should not, be held responsible for failure by the sitters, if there is no recognition; and by responding and giving free course to the suggestion, which reaches you as an impulse or mental impression, greater success will follow, and the development you seek will be promoted.
I bade the officer in charge of the canoes last night to pick me out four of his best men, and in so light a boat we shall travel as fast as that behind us, although they have two extra hands."

You love us all madly, I know. Do they make love to you, Philidor?" "Who?" "Your beautiful sitters." "No," he growled. "That's not what they're in the studio for." She smiled inscrutably. "Olga did."
While cheerfulness is well on the part of the sitters, there should be no indulgence in levity and joking during the sitting. The room should be comfortably warmed and lighted in the ordinary way. The Sitters in the Circle. The sitters will do well to occupy their same places at each sitting, unless the spirits indicate otherwise.
Whatever their ultimate explanation, however, they can no longer be said to be due to any form of hallucination in the sitters.
