High on the scaffolding he would see the painters at work, and as he watched the boy would build castles in the air, and dream dreams of a time when he too would be a master-painter, and be bidden by Venice to decorate her walls. To Tintoretto's mind Titian was the greatest man in all the world, and to be taught by him the greatest honour that heart could wish.
Beth watched him furtively, but once he caught her gazing at him with concern. "What's the matter?" he asked, with an effort to be cheerful. "The matter is the pained expression in your eyes," she answered. "Are you suffering again?" "Just twinges," he said, then set his firm full lips, resolute to play the man. But the twinges were mental, not bodily, and Beth understood.
After the long day of fruitless search and enquiry for the vanished Nancy, supper being over and Tom having gone outside, Dan joined his mother in the blue parlour. Mrs. Frost was weary with waiting and anxiety, but as Dan threw himself on a couch near her chair, she watched him patiently. "There is no clue, Dan?" she ventured at last.

Once it was an ugly black, and then of a light pale-green yellow.
He bought some number fifteen hooks for gudgeon, number twelve for bream, and with his number seven he expected to fill his basket with carp. He bought no earth worms because he was sure of finding them everywhere; but he laid in a provision of sand worms. He had a jar full of them, and in the evening he watched them with interest.
