"A common carpenter," said Rogers.

"Do you remember the making of it ?" said Chantrey.

"Certainly," said Rogers, in some surprise.

"I was in the room while it was finished with the chisel, and gave the workman directions about placing it." "Yes," said Chantrey, "I was the carpenter.

I remember the room well, and all the circumstances." A curious story, I think, and honourable both to the talent which raised Chantrey, and to the magnanimity which kept him from being ashamed of what he had been.
