Excerpt from A Woman of Forty, Vol. 1 of 2: A Monograph Frank Milton himself was a thoroughly good, hard-working fellow. There was no humbug about him and no pretence, but he could'not help know ing that he was popular and that he was rich. He was sorry the artistic brotherhood thought so little of his pictures, but he forgave them, for in his inmost soul he was not very appreciative of his own work, still his style was liked by fashionable ladies, and he was not going to quarrel with them for that, not even for the sake of all the other artists in England. The truth was, he thought more of a word of praise from Lady Mary's lips than of all the fine sentences of the dukes and duchesses in the world. If Mary said his picture was pretty, he knew she meant it usually she told him his portraits were made to order, and on these occasions he contented himself with smiling or asking her what would be the cost of the new show she was preparing for her next triumph.
