from Mr. Clemens:

SUSY: You must know a wonderful deal, Papa.

MT:  I have that reputation -- in Europe; but here the best minds think I am superficial. However, I am content; I make no defense; my pictures show what I am.

SUSY: Papa, I should think you would take pupils.

MT:  No, I have no desire for riches. Honest poverty and a con­science torpid through virtuous inaction are more to me than corner lots and praise.
