Since Hadrian took to sculpture and painting it has become the universal fashion here to practise these arts, and among the wealthier youth who come to my workroom, many have very good abilities; but not one of them brings anything to any good issue, because so much of their time is taken up by the gymnasium, the bath, the quail-fights, the suppers, and I know not what besides, so that they do nothing by way of practice."
"Of course," Linda hastened to corroborate, wishing if possible to avoid any unpleasantness. "You certainly have an attractive workroom here," said John, "much as I hate to see it spoiled for billiards." "It's too bad," said Linda, "that I have spoiled it for you for billiards. I have also spoiled the outside appearance of the house for Eileen." "Oh, I don't know," said John.
"Why, it would kill me if you should die," said the poor mother. "Oh! when I got up this morning and saw that your bed hadn't been slept in and that you weren't in the workroom either! I just turned round and fell flat. Are you warm now? Do you feel well? You won't do it again, will you try to kill yourself?" And she tucked in the bed-clothes, rubbed her feet, and rocked her upon her breast.
Although she did not suspect it, many rumors were rife about Harmony in the workroom. She was not of the people, they said the daughter of a great American, of course, run away to escape a loveless marriage. This was borne out by the report of one of them who had glimpsed the silk petticoat.
When she finished, she read it over carefully, and then copied it with equal care on the typewriter, which she had removed to her workroom. When she heard Katy's footstep outside her door, she opened it and drew her in, slipping the bolt behind her. She led her to the fireplace and recited the lines. "Now ain't they jist the finest gentlemen?" said Katy.
They spoke louder than the rattle of the omnibuses, the street cries, the cascades in the gutters; and even in the workroom, when she was sorting the false pearls even at night, in her own home, when she went, after dinner, to breathe the fresh air at the window on the landing and to gaze at the dark, deserted factory, that murmur still buzzed in her ears, forming, as it were, a continual accompaniment to her thoughts.
She has not come to the time of life when one wishes to amass, or is it that she has not seen anything she covets? The professor is satisfied with every room. If they can put in a bed he will sleep here, and take this for his workroom. The parlor is still left for the entertainment of guests.
Meanwhile, extra diligence was required in the workroom; and Ruth found no opportunity of going to see little Tom, or to fulfil the plans for making him and his grandmother more comfortable, which she had proposed to herself.
He referred to "La Savoyarde," the big bell of the basilica, which had now begun to toll, sending forth deep sonorous volumes of sound, which ever and ever winged their flight over the immensity of Paris. In the workroom they were all listening to the clang. "Will it keep on like that till four o'clock?" asked Marie.
Mr Headley answered the business matters absently, and ended by saying he would think on the council. In Tibble's workroom, with the clatter of a forge close to them, they had not heard a commotion in the court outside.
