town of Boston and he was asked 10
sit for his picture TO Gilbert Stuart.

braggart. When Hull visited his
studio Stuart took great delight in en-
tertaining him with anecdotes OF his
English success, stories Of the marquis

showed how elegant was the society
to which he had been accustomed
Unfortunately. in the midst of this
grandeur. Mrs. Stuart, who did not
know that there was a sitter. came in
