Xii.
As the different members of the Cabinet came in, the President introduced me, adding in several instances,--He has an idea of painting a picture of us all together.
This, of course, started conversation on the topic of art. Presently a reference was made by some one to Jones, the sculptor, whose bust of Mr. Lincoln was in the crimson parlor below.
The President, I think, was writing at this instant.
Looking up, he said, Jones tells a good story of General Scott, of whom he once made a bust.
Having a fine subject to start with, he succeeded in giving great satisfaction.
At the closing sitting he attempted to define and elaborate the lines and markings of the face.
The General sat patiently; but when he came to see the result, his countenance indicated decided displeasure.
Why, Jones, what have you been doing?
he asked.
Oh, rejoined the sculptor, not much, I confess, General; I have been working out the details of the face a little more, this morning.
Details?
