'And I suppose you know that you will find the Welbys there too? Fenwick made a startled movement. 'The Welbys? How did you hear that? 'I had my usual half-yearly letter from Cuningham yesterday. He's the fellow for telling you the news. Welby has begun a big picture of Marie Antoinette, at Trianon, and has taken a studio in Versailles for the winter.
A big, kindly smile flickered over Watson's face. 'What was little Madame Welby jealous? 'She would be a great goose if she were, said Fenwick, turning aside to look through some sketches that lay on a chair beside him. Watson shook his head, still smiling, then remarked: 'By the way, I understand she has become quite an invalid. 'Has she? said Fenwick. 'I know nothing of them.
The actress managed, by a scheme of treatment exclusively her own, to make Stephanie, for two or three moments, piteous and forlorn; and her expression of that evanescent anguish occurring in the appeal to Sir Horace Welby, her friendly foe, in the strong scene of the second act was wonderfully subtle.
'Lord Findon tells me you're sending in a most awfully jolly thing to the Academy! he said, bending across Madame de Pastourelles, his musical voice full of cordiality. Fenwick made a muttered reply. It might have been thought he disliked being talked to about his own work. Welby accordingly changed the subject at once; he returned to the picture he had been pressing on Lord Findon.
'Why, Fenwick, of course. Give me a cup of tea, there's a dear. I've just seen Welby, who's been hob-nobbing with somebody on the Hanging Committee. Both pictures accepted, and the portrait will be on the line in the big room the other very well hung, too, in one of the later rooms. Lucky dog! Millais came up and spoke to me about him said he heard we had discovered him.
'By George, I think he's right, said Lord Findon, putting on spectacles. 'That right hand's certainly too big. 'In my opinion, it's not big enough, said Fenwick, doggedly. Welby withdrew instantly from the picture, and took up his hat. Lord Findon looked at the artist half angry, half amused. 'You don't buy her gloves, sir I do.
'You? you came to see me? He advanced, head foremost, hand outstretched. 'I have something important to say to you. Welby took no notice of the hand. 'Shall we be undisturbed? 'I imagine so! said Fenwick, fiercely retreating; 'but, as you see, I am extremely busy! He pointed to the room and its contents.
The jokers dubbed it "Health-Exterminator," but almost all Welby took it, they must take something in the spring, and the little doctor, who had a soul far above thoughts of sordid gain, never expected to be paid for it, which made it very popular.
Kenelm Chillingly in reply largely availed himself of those new ideas which were to influence the rising generation, and with which he had been rendered familiar by the journal of Mr. Mivers and the conversation of Mr. Welby. He briefly disposed of the ancestral part of the question.
'Dear papa! she looked up, smiling. 'It's very simple. With a muttered exclamation, Lord Findon walked to the further end of the drawing-room, and vanished through an inner door. The footman announced 'Mr. Welby. As soon as the door was shut, Eugénie rose. Welby hurriedly approached her. 'You say in your note that you have something important to tell me?
