" Fenton smiled and continued his painting. With a thrill half oftriumph, half of rage, he became aware that he was this morningsucceeding admirably in getting just the likeness he wanted in thesitter's portrait. He had feared lest his excitement should render himunfit for work, but it had, on the contrary, spurred him up to unusualeffectiveness. The thought came into his mind of the price at which hewas buying this skill, and it was characteristic that the reflectionwhich followed was that at ...least, if he caused Hubbard to lose money bybetraying the secret he hoped to get from him, he was, to a degree, repaying him by painting a portrait which could under no othercircumstances be so good. It was no less characteristic of Fenton's mental habits that he lookedupon himself as having committed the crime against his sitter which hadyet to be carried out. In his logic, the legitimate, however distorted, legacy from Puritan ancestors, the sin lay in the determination; and hewould have held himself almost as guilty had circumstances at thismoment freed him from the disagreeable necessity of going on with hisattempt.
