When on the exposed portion an image is formed, then taking the tablet into the dark room, change ends and expose the sensitive portion, and produce another image, developing as usual. This plan is adapted for taking likenesses for lockets. Two images can be presented as sitting side by side, by covering half the plate with black paper, and exposing as before.
Many, many lockets I made of cunning workmanship and design, of curious chasings and most marvelous wrought intertwinings, yet none suited my lord. One after one they returned to the melting pot and my labors re-commenced.
What proof, I say?" "Would there be two lockets, Highness?" "More proof than this will be needed. Produce it. Prolong this agony of doubt not another instant." "Speak," said Hans to the Gipsy, who was viewing the drama with the nonchalance of a spectator rather than a participant. "Highness," said the Gipsy, bowing, "he speaks truly. He came with us.
Lady Theodosia puffed a good deal as dinner went on, I could hear her from where I sat. She is in slight mourning, so below her diamond necklace which is magnificent, but has not been cleaned for years she had a set of five lockets, on a chain all made of bog oak, and afterwards I found each locket had a portrait of some pet animal who is dead in it, and a piece of its hair.
