The sitter was, as the inscription shows, eighty-eight years old; and the strong, stern face is full of that "inward" look which comes to the faces of men whose meat and drink has been a lifetime of heavy responsibilities.
"Holbein"
Beatrice Fortescue
A cross of these birds makes a good quiet sitter.
