`` I will be sure to call . '' The artist made his way to a baker 's where he bought a loaf of bread . Also at a shop near by he obtained a pint of milk , and , provided with these , he hastened home to his hungry child . At noon , after taking lunch , Paul found his way to the address given him by the artist . The room was dark and scantily furnished . Mr. Henderson sat before an easel , trying to work . He got up hastily as Paul entered .
