37、simple, restful place, where the rich never come. I met Theophile Magnan, a retired, rich, old man from Lyons yesterday, in the Hotel des Anglais. Theophile looked sad and dreamy, and didnt talk with anybody else, which brought me back to the past. A long time ago, Francois Millet, Claude, Carl and

38、I were young artistsvery young artistsin fact. Yes, Francois Millet, the great French artist, was my friend. Millet wasnt any greater than we were at that time. He didnt have any fame （名气） , even in his own village. We were all poor though we had stacks and stacks of as good pictures as anybody in E

39、urope painted. Once a person ever offered four francs（法郎）for Millets “Angelus”, which he wanted to sell for eight.
