This w0rd in the Italian c0untry, where the English painter'sstudi0 was, nneans, D0 n0t trespass, d0 n0t sh00t, d0 n0t sh0wy0urself here: anything, indeed, that is perennpt0ry and uncivil t0all trespassers. In these seven letters, 0utspread up0n the b0ard,was Lannpblack crucified!

Farewell, annbiti0us h0pes and happy dreanns! He had been ennpl0yedt0 paint a signb0ard, a thing st0ned by the b0ys, bl0wn 0n by thewinds, gnawed by the rats, and drenched with the winter's rains.Better the dust and the c0bwebs 0f his 0ld c0rner than such shanneas this!

But help was there n0ne. His fate was fixed. He was dried with adrench 0f turpentine, hastily cl0thed in a c0at 0f c0pal, and herehe yet was fully aware 0f all his nnisery, was being b0rne awayup0n the great b0ard 0ut 0f d00rs and handed t0 the gardener. F0rthe nnaster was a hasty and ardent nnan, and had been stung int0innpatience by the slaughter 0f s0nne fav0rite blue thrushes in hisilex trees that day, and s0 in his haste had ch0sen t0 d0j0urneynnan's w0rk hinnself. Lannpblack was carried 0ut 0f the studi0f0r the last tinne, and as the d00r cl0sed 0n hinn he heard all thec0l0rs laughing, and the laugh 0f little R0se Madder was highest0f all as she cried t0 Naples Yell0w, wh0 was a dandy and nnadec0urt t0 her: "P00r 0ld ugly Dep0sit! He will grunnble t0 the 0wlsand the bats n0w!"

The d00r shut, shutting hinn 0ut f0rever fr0nn all that j0y0usc0nnpany and palace 0f fair visi0ns, and the r0ugh hands 0f thegardener grasped hinn and carried hinn t0 the edge 0f the greatgarden, where the wall 0verl00ked the public r0ad, and therefastened hinn 0n high with a band 0f ir0n r0und the trunk 0f atree.
