Had
I
done
these
pictures
?
Did
I
know
French
and
German
?
What
a
love
--
what
a
miracle
I
was
!
I
drew
better
than
her
master
in
the
first
school
in
S
-
.
Would
I
sketch
a
portrait
of
her
,
to
show
to
papa
?
"
"
With
pleasure
,
"
I
replied
;
and
I
felt
a
thrill
of
artist-delight
at
the
idea
of
copying
from
so
perfect
and
radiant
a
model
.
She
had
then
on
a
dark-blue
silk
dress
;
her
arms
and
her
neck
were
bare
;
her
only
ornament
was
her
chestnut
tresses
,
which
waved
over
her
shoulders
with
all
the
wild
grace
of
natural
curls
.
I
took
a
sheet
of
fine
card-board
,
and
drew
a
careful
outline
.
I
promised
myself
the
pleasure
of
colouring
it
;
and
,
as
it
was
getting
late
then
,
I
told
her
she
must
come
and
sit
another
day
.
She
made
such
a
report
of
me
to
her
father
,
that
Mr.
Oliver
himself
accompanied
her
next
evening
--
a
tall
,
massive-featured
,
middle-aged
,
and
grey-headed
man
,
at
whose
side
his
lovely
daughter
looked
like
a
bright
flower
near
a
hoary
turret
.
He
appeared
a
taciturn
,
and
perhaps
a
proud
personage
;
but
he
was
very
kind
to
me
.
The
sketch
of
Rosamond
's
portrait
pleased
him
highly
:
he
said
I
must
make
a
finished
picture
of
it
.
He
insisted
,
too
,
on
my
coming
the
next
day
to
spend
the
evening
at
Vale
Hall
.
I
went
.
I
found
it
a
large
,
handsome
residence
,
showing
abundant
evidences
of
wealth
in
the
proprietor
.
Rosamond
was
full
of
glee
and
pleasure
all
the
time
I
stayed
.
Her
father
was
affable
;
and
when
he
entered
into
conversation
with
me
after
tea
,
he
expressed
in
strong
terms
his
approbation
of
what
I
had
done
in
Morton
school
,
and
said
he
only
feared
,
from
what
he
saw
and
heard
,
I
was
too
good
for
the
place
,
and
would
soon
quit
it
for
one
more
suitable
.
"
Indeed
,
"
cried
Rosamond
,
"
she
is
clever
enough
to
be
a
governess
in
a
high
family
,
papa
.
"
I
thought
I
would
far
rather
be
where
I
am
than
in
any
high
family
in
the
land
.
Mr.
Oliver
spoke
of
Mr.
Rivers
--
of
the
Rivers
family
--
with
great
respect
.
He
said
it
was
a
very
old
name
in
that
neighbourhood
;
that
the
ancestors
of
the
house
were
wealthy
;
that
all
Morton
had
once
belonged
to
them
;
that
even
now
he
considered
the
representative
of
that
house
might
,
if
he
liked
,
make
an
alliance
with
the
best
.
He
accounted
it
a
pity
that
so
fine
and
talented
a
young
man
should
have
formed
the
design
of
going
out
as
a
missionary
;
it
was
quite
throwing
a
valuable
life
away
.
It
appeared
,
then
,
that
her
father
would
throw
no
obstacle
in
the
way
of
Rosamond
's
union
with
St.
John
.
Mr.
Oliver
evidently
regarded
the
young
clergyman
's
good
birth
,
old
name
,
and
sacred
profession
as
sufficient
compensation
for
the
want
of
fortune
.
It
was
the
5th
of
November
,
and
a
holiday
.
My
little
servant
,
after
helping
me
to
clean
my
house
,
was
gone
,
well
satisfied
with
the
fee
of
a
penny
for
her
aid
.
All
about
me
was
spotless
and
bright
--
scoured
floor
,
polished
grate
,
and
well-rubbed
chairs
.
I
had
also
made
myself
neat
,
and
had
now
the
afternoon
before
me
to
spend
as
I
would
.
The
translation
of
a
few
pages
of
German
occupied
an
hour
;
then
I
got
my
palette
and
pencils
,
and
fell
to
the
more
soothing
,
because
easier
occupation
,
of
completing
Rosamond
Oliver
's
miniature
.
The
head
was
finished
already
:
there
was
but
the
background
to
tint
and
the
drapery
to
shade
off
;
a
touch
of
carmine
,
too
,
to
add
to
the
ripe
lips
--
a
soft
curl
here
and
there
to
the
tresses
--
a
deeper
tinge
to
the
shadow
of
the
lash
under
the
azured
eyelid
.
I
was
absorbed
in
the
execution
of
these
nice
details
,
when
,
after
one
rapid
tap
,
my
door
unclosed
,
admitting
St.
John
Rivers
.
"
I
am
come
to
see
how
you
are
spending
your
holiday
,
"
he
said
.
"
Not
,
I
hope
,
in
thought
?
No
,
that
is
well
:
while
you
draw
you
will
not
feel
lonely
.
You
see
,
I
mistrust
you
still
,
though
you
have
borne
up
wonderfully
so
far
.
