Of
course
a
miracle
may
happen
,
and
you
may
be
a
great
painter
,
but
you
must
confess
the
chances
are
a
million
to
one
against
it
.
It
’
ll
be
an
awful
sell
if
at
the
end
you
have
to
acknowledge
you
’
ve
made
a
hash
of
it
.
"
"
I
’
ve
got
to
paint
,
"
he
repeated
.
"
Supposing
you
’
re
never
anything
more
than
third
-
rate
,
do
you
think
it
will
have
been
worth
while
to
give
up
everything
?
After
all
,
in
any
other
walk
in
life
it
doesn
’
t
matter
if
you
’
re
not
very
good
;
you
can
get
along
quite
comfortably
if
you
’
re
just
adequate
;
but
it
’
s
different
with
an
artist
.
"
"
You
blasted
fool
,
"
he
said
.
"
I
don
’
t
see
why
,
unless
it
’
s
folly
to
say
the
obvious
.
"
"
I
tell
you
I
’
ve
got
to
paint
.
I
can
’
t
help
myself
.
When
a
man
falls
into
the
water
it
doesn
’
t
matter
how
he
swims
,
well
or
badly
:
he
’
s
got
to
get
out
or
else
he
’
ll
drown
.

There
was
real
passion
in
his
voice
,
and
in
spite
of
myself
I
was
impressed
.
I
seemed
to
feel
in
him
some
vehement
power
that
was
struggling
within
him
;
it
gave
me
the
sensation
of
something
very
strong
,
overmastering
,
that
held
him
,
as
it
were
,
against
his
will
.
I
could
not
understand
.
He
seemed
really
to
be
possessed
of
a
devil
,
and
I
felt
that
it
might
suddenly
turn
and
rend
him
.
Yet
he
looked
ordinary
enough
.
My
eyes
,
resting
on
him
curiously
,
caused
him
no
embarrassment
.
I
wondered
what
a
stranger
would
have
taken
him
to
be
,
sitting
there
in
his
old
Norfolk
jacket
and
his
unbrushed
bowler
;
his
trousers
were
baggy
,
his
hands
were
not
clean
;
and
his
face
,
with
the
red
stubble
of
the
unshaved
chin
,
the
little
eyes
,
and
the
large
,
aggressive
nose
,
was
uncouth
and
coarse
.
His
mouth
was
large
,
his
lips
were
heavy
and
sensual
.
No
;
I
could
not
have
placed
him
.
"
You
won
’
t
go
back
to
your
wife
?
"
I
said
at
last
.
"
Never
.
