Excerpt from The Blind Artist's Pictures: And Other Stories Perhaps no one but Ferdinand Brail ever knew what she suffered at the time when she heard the evil news, and through the many days which followed, while - vainly certain that her iover would clear himself - she had insisted on having the picture finished. They never spoke of her lover then, though she had often talked about him before with the sweet confidence of a young girl towards a very old man whom she loves and trusts, but at last, when she begged him to send home the picture as it was, for she did not want ever to see it again, he knew what that meant. He said nothing, except that he hoped she would still come to see him often, for he was lonely and liked to talk to her, and lame and unable to come to her. So, after she had taken leave of society, Serena went often to'the old man's studio. The two grew to be very firm friends, and had countless pleasant talks together, but they never spoke of her lover once during the eight years of their friendship.
