He interlarded his conversation with oaths as expletives, but it was pleasant to con verse with him : — there was a frankness and anima tion about him which won good- will, as much as nis vigorous intellect commanded respect. There is a story of his having refused to paint poitraitSi and sajring, in answer to applications, that there was a man in Leicester Square who did it. Bu this, he said, was false ; for that he would at any BARRY. Ill time have painted portraits, and have been glad to pain...t them." It was daring these periods of misgiving and des pondency that Barry thought of requesting a situa- tion of moderate emolument from the government —he saw places of little labour and large profit filled by men of ordinary ability — and he thought minis- ters would prefer the help of the clever, if it were ofiered, to. that of the dull. He failed to perceive that service of another kind than he could hope to render was the purchase-price of such situations.
He applied for the place of painter to the ordnance department — ^he knew so little of what he asked for, that he was surprised to find that it was housr* painting only, and that the profits arose from iJ s extent of the contracts ; he next applied for tl' situation of serjeant-painter to the court, but with* drew his memorialon discovering that the salary was only eighteen pounds a year.
