Excerpt from Lorenzo of Sarzana Genoa, and the figure a little below them as the street sloped down the hill was the Maestro with whom they painted. They were conscious of him though they avoided looking at him and he was totally unconscious of them and looked upon the sea. They had a grievance against him of which they never spoke but which formed a perfectly understood background for all their comments. It was that the Maestro was seeking a genius and they were one and all aware that they could not play the part. Yet no one of them deplored his own lack of qualifications for it half so much as he resented the Maestro's frank betrayal of his knowledge of it. It resulted in their having fits and starts of working like tigers that some day they might turn and rend him with their success. In this hope, they rent many innocent pieces of canvas but never punctured the Maestro's absorption in his quest with any sharp suspicion of his mistake.
