The woman's head was thrown back, her deep-set eyes were looking up with an expression of strange longing, the rich hair flowed down over her bare neck, where one beautiful hand caught it and seemed to press the tangled locks upon her heart. The picture's beauty was the beauty of life, for the features were not technically faultless.
Dick jested with Bessie, who reminded him that he was 'a drunken beast'; but the reproof did not move him. 'You can't understand, Bess. We are in sight of land now, and soon we shall lie back and think about what we've done. I'll give you three months' pay when the picture's finished, and next time I have any more work in hand but that doesn't matter.
