Summary
Noting that "there is evidently no danger at all that the shortness of the time, and the sense of hurry which that might produce, will cause any falling-off in the artistic finish of [Furniss's] work" for Sylvie and Bruno; returning one picture to ask him to "put a line round it" and "fill in the corners."
