On one side I read the name "Cornelius Vanderbilt" on the other, in bold handwriting "to my very dear friend Count F.A. de Bragard" and a date. "He hated to have me go." I was walking in a dream. "Have you your sketch-books and paints with you? What a pity. I am always intending to send to England for mine, but you know one can't paint in a place like this.
Presuming, therefore, that he has already filled a few sketch-books, he had better resort to these, or to his photograph album, when he needs figures for his perspective. Designing figures and trees out of one's inner consciousness is slow work and not very profitable; and if the figure draughtsman may employ models, the architect may be permitted to use photographs.
When we asked her if she had any paper, she tore a perfectly nice leaf out of her sketch-book, and gave me her 3 B drawing-pencil to write with. It was very soft, and the paper was the roughish kind that comes in sketch-books, so that the writing was smeary and looked quite as if shipwrecked mariners had written it with charred twigs out of the fire.
It seemed that their practice had been to make an annual tour. While Bessie examined the contents of the sketch-books, her grandfather stood behind her looking over her shoulder, and now and then saying a few words in explanation, though most of the scenes were named and dated.
For this reason we followed, in one respect, the example of the fatal dueling-party, by starting, early on the morning of the fourth day, with sketch-books and color-boxes, as if we were only artists in search of the picturesque.
As many of the party had come from a considerable distance, it was settled that dinner should be the first thing attended to, though some of the young ladies directly after their arrival had got out their sketch-books, and would have preferred finishing their sketches first. Fanny, who had observed the rapid way in which they conveyed the scenery to their paper, wished that she could sketch also.
"Yes, ma'am," answered Tom, his face flushing a little. "And these are so beautiful, I could not help looking at them." "If you will come up to the Red House some other day, I shall show you all my brother's sketch-books and odd drawings," said Miss Keane.
A peculiarity of Beethoven's work often commented on, is the extreme simplicity of his themes as they first appear in his sketch-books.
Fortunately, we had brought our sketch-books, and the views of several places were recognised, and were found interesting. The lamas and servants, who had remained respectfully standing, sat down on the floor, and even the Gyalpo became animated. So our visit ended successfully.
A drawing-box, well fitted up with colours and pencils of all kinds, and accompanied with a large quantity of drawing-papers, and two sketch-books, was directed to Isabella.
