The silver-white bark, which peels so delightfully under childish fingers, is not less charming to the sketcher's eye, whether as a near study or as gleaming points of high light against the grey greens and misty purples of a Highland hillside. It is emphatically the tree of the Highlands of the North.
They felt, too, that though the drawing they saw rising under the sketcher's hand was not made powerful by brilliant effects or striking contrasts, it was nevertheless overflowing with the truth and sentiment of nature.
He does, however, scant justice to the banks of the Loire; his want of appreciation of the picturesque want of the sketcher's sense causes him to miss half the charm of a landscape which is nothing if not "quiet," as a painter would say, and of which the felicities reveal themselves only to waiting eyes. He even despises the Indre, the river of Madame Sand.

We pass a dozen historic houses, we note in our passage a hundred component "bits," with the baffled sketcher's sense, and with what would doubtless be, save for our intensely Venetian fatalism, the baffled sketcher's temper. It is the early palaces, of course, and also, to be fair, some of the late, if we could take them one by one, that give the Canal the best of its grand air.
This oil is used both for cooking and burning, and for the latter purpose has the valuable property of having no nasty smell. Of the beauty of the beech as a forest-tree let artists rave! Its smooth and shapely bole does not tempt the sketcher's eye alone. Upon its branches and beneath its shadow grow many fungi, several of which are eatable.
