By the way, I hope you won't mind; I've got your
portrait all over San Francisco for the lecture,
enlarged from that carte de visite: "H. Loudon Dodd,
the Americo-Parisienne Sculptor." Here's a proof of the
small handbills; the posters are the same, only in red
and blue, and the letters fourteen by one."
I looked at the handbill, and my head turned. What was

lecture written up to that." Even after we had reached
San Francisco, and at the actual physical shock of my
own effigy placarded on the streets I had broken forth
in petulant words, he never comprehended in the least
the ground of my aversion.

as high as he could rise. "You are perfectly right: a
clear-cut black is preferable, and shows a great deal
further. The only thing that pains me is the portrait:
I own I thought that a success.
