88. Good News. Le Blond, No. 72.
\nGrandpa is seated in the centre of the cottage room, reading aloud from a newspaper to the others assembled. Whether he is conveying the intelligence of the capture of Sebastopol, the declaration of peace, or some other event, the news\u2014judging from the excessive joy exhibited by some of the company\u2014must have been equally good. The only person unconcerned is the little girl on the floor, feeding a kitten from a saucer; but the other little one of two years, having her breakfast\u2014perhaps preternaturally perceptive\u2014seems to be transported with glee. The colouring is not equal to some. <\/p>\n

Size, width 6 3\/4 inches, length 5 1\/4 inches. R. \u00a31 10s. The print is signed on the bottom right.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
