Chapter V
"You show a godless want of respect in criticising pictures of saints," said Michael, who stood beside him. "You are your father's own son there." "Very likely. Do you know I should like to paint a picture of that?--Saint Michael and the devil, the conflict of light with darkness. Something might be made of it if a fellow really set himself to work, and I have a model close at hand."
