o'clock he found a lost child, a tiny boy of three
years old, who only knew that his name was Tommy
Murphy, and that his parents lived in something that
sounded like Tobago Street. Stevenson carried the
child through the streets of Edinburgh for nearly three
hours, seeking, with infinite patience and persever-
ance, for the missing parents. It was two before
I got to bed, he wrote ; then added, characteristic-
ally, However, you see, I had my excitement.
In July 1875, just after he had passed his examina-
tion, he paid a visit to Paris and was introduced by
his cousin Bob to the artists colony at Barbizon.
This noiseless hamlet stood deep in the shady
groves of Fontainebleau ; it had been the home of
Millet, who was lately dead ; and its whole neighbour-
hood was filled with traditions of artists and their
works. At Barbizon was an inn, known as Sirons,
and this had become the headquarters of a companyo

who guarded it carefully from the intrusions of 60

tourists and capitalists. They had trained the
innkeeper to give unlimited credit, and to treat the
most out-at-elbows artist with no visible effects
but his paint-box as an honoured guest ; to allow
him to remain as long as he chose ; not to present
him with his bill until he asked for it, and to suffer
him, without question or remonstrance, to depart
whithersoever he would leaving it unpaid. The
hours and ways of the inn were regulated by these
young gentlemens requirements. They rose at
what hour they would, found their simple breakfast
ready, and went out into the cool, silent shades of
the forest to paint, to write, to meditate, to join
in merry excursions, or to wander in delightful
solitude. At noon and at six o'clock there was a
plentiful meal spread for them in the dining-room,
whose walls were covered with pictures painted by past
and present frequenters of Sirons; and then there
was so much eating and drinking and jabbering in
French and English that it that it would have done your
heart good, said Stevenson, to have listened at the
door.
