on the estate. On the first morning of his
visit Lord Egremont asked Turner what he
should like to do, and the great painter re-
piled he would 90 fishing. The next morn
ing at breakfast Lord L. inquired again what
it would please Mr.. Turner to do; and he re-
piled that, having enjoyed himself so much
yesterday, he would go fishing again. On
the third morning Lord Egremont thought he
would wait ior Turner to announce his own
plans, and was greatly amused when he
quietly said he was again going fishing.
On the fourth morning Lord E., unable to
conceal his anxiety, said "Well, Mr.. Tur-
ner, am only too glad for you to enjoy
yourself, but you are talking of going away
| to- morrow. and felt anxious about the pic
lures" Come up stairs to my room.
| said Turner. land set your mind at rest.
| Nothing could exceed the surprise and de-
| light of Lord Egremont when Turner intro
duccd him to two exquisite pictures painted
as he had desired. The great man had risen

breakfast had, by good days work, earned
