Chapter XII
"If only I had a little capital!" he cried aloud in despair. "Enough to support me until my Academy picture is finished." His Academy picture was a masterly study entitled, "Roll on, thou deep and dark blue ocean, roll," and he had been compelled to stop half-way across the Channel through sheer lack of ultramarine. The clock struck two, reminding him that he had not lunched. He rose wearily and went to the little cupboard which served as a larder.
