There isn't an easy chair in the house.

To put it vulgarly, what is wrong with Tomlinson from a high art point of view?
"There's a man I know who lives in Birmingham: you must have heard of him.

He is the great collector of Eighteenth Century caricatures, the Rowlandson and Gilray school of things.

I don't call them artistic myself; they make me ill to look at them; but people who understand Art rave about them.

Why can't a man be artistic who has got a cottage in the country ?" "You don't understand me," retorted my critical friend, a little irritably, as I thought.
"I admit it," I returned.
