I've just seen Welby, who's been hob-nobbing with somebody on the Hanging Committee.

Both pictures accepted, and the portrait will be on the line in the big room--the other very well hung, too, in one of the later rooms.

Lucky dog! Millais came up and spoke to me about him--said he heard we had discovered him.

Of course, there's lots of criticism.

Drawing and design, modern and realistic--the whole _painting_ method, traditional and old-fashioned, except for some wonderful touches of pre-Raphaelitism--that's what most people say.
