A black-bearded captain in this work invests in some of the protagonist's creations, claiming that they will be his daughter's "dot."  At the end of this work, one character tells Mr. Van Busche Taylor about her Bakst cushions, after which she tells the narrator about her daughter, now Mrs. Ronaldson. The narrator had just returned from a trip where he talked to Dr. Coutras and Tiare, who had met the protagonist after he had left Paris. There, his lover, Blanche, committed suicide by swallowing oxalic acid, much to the chagrin of Dirk Stroeve, who had helped the protagonist change his career from that of a stockbroker in England to that of an artist. Dying of leprosy on Tahiti while painting on the walls of his bungalow is Charles Strickland, whose life is detailed in, FTP, which novel by W. Somerset Maugham?
