She's straight like a lil John the Baptist in the church window' " Pete paused; Philip lifted his pen and waited. "Done already? Man veen, there's no houlding you.... 'Glad to hear you're so happy and comfortable with Uncle Joe and Auntie Joney. Give the pair of them my fond love and best respects. We're getting on beautiful, and I'm as happy as a sandboy.
Van Veen took very few pupils only those who had the ability to aid him in completing his designs. To have worked with this master was an introduction at once into the charmed circle of royalty. Rubens was in no haste to branch out on his own account: he was quite content to know that he was gaining ground, making head upon the whole.
In the midst of all stood Cæsar, solemn and expansive. "He turned his herring yonder night when he left goodbye to the four of us," he said. "My father did the same the night he was lost running rum for Whitehaven, and I've never seen a man do it and live." "It's forgot at you father," wept Grannie. "It was Mr. Philip that turned it. Aw boy veen! boy veen!"
Van der Veen gave him his hand, saying: "Sir, you are the man of whom the whole country is talking?" "Yes, here I am," was the reply, "and I put myself in your hands " "There isn't a moment to lose," replied the clothier. "We must help you away at once."
My daughter! Here is our little Mary. She has come home to see you." Never shall I forget what followed. First, my mother's long lashes parted and she looked at me with a dazed expression as if still in a sort of dream. My Mally veen!" How long I lay with my arms about my mother, and my mother's arms about me I do not know.
Philip left his plate half full, and rose from the table to go down to Port Mooar. "But, boy veen, you've destroyed nothing,", cried the landlady. And then coaxingly, as if he had been a child, "You'll be ateing bits for me, now, come, come! No more at all? Aw, it's failing you are, Mr. Philip! Going for a walk is it? Take your topcoat then, for the clover is closing."
The other half's gone round to other ports, too late for the day's sailing, and half of that half will be going rotten and getting chucked back into the sea. That's what the Manx fishermen have lost this morning because they haven't harbours to shelter them, and yet they're talking of levying harbour dues." "Man veen, he's a boy!" "He's all that" "Go it, Capt'n. What are we to do?"
Twenty years after Rubens had left the studio of Van Noort he paid tribute to his old master by saying, "Had Van Noort visited Italy and caught the spirit of the classicists, his name would stand first among Flemish artists." Rubens worked four years with Van Noort and then entered the studio of Otto van Veen.
Christian Ann wanted to know if he wasn't "freckened" to be there, "not being used of Kings," whereupon he cried: "What! Frightened of another man and a stunning good one, too!" I suppose I must have laughed at that, for the next I heard was: "Hush! Isn't that Mary!" "Aw, yes, the poor veg veen," said a sad voice. It was Christian Ann's.
He had a large contract for purchasing stone at Altona for a public building on which he was engaged. Van der Veen coming up added his entreaties, protesting that he too was interested in this great stone purchase, and so by means of offering a larger price than they at first dared to propose, they were able to effect their passage.
