"I have really tried to draw his _personality_" he wrote to me thanking me for having said I liked the picture (it was done after Henry's death).... "Irving's eyes in Dubosc always made my hair stand on end, and I paid great attention to the fact that one couldn't exactly say whether they were _shut_ or _open_. Very terrifying...." Mr. Rothenstein, to whom I once sat for a lithograph, was another of the young artists who came a good deal to the Lyceum.

Poor Mr. Rothenstein was much worried over his lithograph, yet "it was all right on the night," as actors say. "Dear Miss Terry,-- "My nights have been sleepless--my drawing sitting gibbering on my chest. I knew how fearfully I should stumble--that is why I wanted to do more drawings earlier.
