AMONG Guy's friends at the Moat, none observed him more sympathisingly than its kind mistress. She soon discovered his favourite pursuit and desire, and to promote them in the most effectual way became one of her settled purposes. If Guy must paint, he must do it well, otherwise he must not do it at all-that was decided; and to paint well, he must have all the advantages that could be obtained in furtherance of that object.
She knew that it would not be easy to obtain her husband's sanction of his choice, but he was too sensible and kind, and too anxious to serve Mrs. Falconer, not to yield his best assistance when required.
