In three days, during which he kept Alice out of the attic partly by lies and partly by locking the door, the picture was finished; and he had forgotten all about everything except his profession.

"He's not GREAT enough for me to give myself to he does not suffice for my desire!... If he had been a Saul or a Bonaparte ah!
I have to work hard, and that's all the good it does." The fact was that Hogan had not done a whole day's work for years. But such men are very apt to deceive themselves and possibly he imagined himself a hard-working man. "It's disgusting to see the airs that boy puts on," he continued to soliloquize.
