There are exceptions, my good auctioneer, — there are exceptions. But, after all, how should you know? I had forgotten that you were only an auc- tioneer. You can let your master know," added Whistler, as he laid the notice on the table, "that I, Mr. Whistler, have been here " ; and with that he swept out of the shop, leaving the auctioneer speechless. He turned to me as we left the office.
60 WHISTLER AS I KNEW HIM " I think he has now a better idea of my position," he said.
Our next act was t...o gather together enough money to pay the rent, for we had sufficient business instincts to know that the man would still be put in possession.
It took us many hours ; but at length we managed to sweep in the amount in five-pound notes, pounds, and even odd shillings. Then Whistler was worried. He thought there should be some explanation for paying these people in pounds, shillings, and pence. " They will say that the Master is really hard up, because I cannot send them a cheque," he said: "I must write them a letter." With that he wrote one of his mar- vellous letters, in which he explained that in dealing with people so vulgar and so little accustomed to the habits of the polite world he had found it necessary to put himself to the trouble of sending them their money in coin.
