The portrait will only survive inyour memory. Where you will still see the face that is dear toyou, others will see nothing at all. Will you allow me toreproduce the likeness on canvas? It will be more permanentlyrecorded then than on that sheet of paper. Grant me, I beg, as aneighborly favor, the pleasure of doing you this service. Thereare times when an artist is glad of a respite from his greaterundertakings by doing work of less lofty pretensions, so it willbe a recreation for me to paint t...hat head. " The old lady flushed as she heard the painter's words, andAdelaide shot one of those glances of deep feeling which seem toflash from the soul. Hippolyte wanted to feel some tie linkinghim with his two neighbors, to conquer a right to mingle in theirlife. His offer, appealing as it did to the liveliest affectionsof the heart, was the only one he could possibly make; itgratified his pride as an artist, and could not hurt the feelingsof the ladies. Madame Leseigneur accepted, without eagerness orreluctance, but with the self-possession of a noble soul, fullyaware of the character of bonds formed by such an obligation, while, at the same time, they are its highest glory as a proof ofesteem.
