And if agreement was reached, added Laborite Jim Callaghan, "we would not seek to overturn it." In the same mood of conciliation, Prime Minister Macmillan noted, "We have of course no special pride of authorship which will make us stick obstinately to this or that detail of the plan...

In The Fifer, Manet even used the same greyish background Velásquez employed. Claude Monet, on the other hand, made his own discovery, that light acting and reacting over objects is all that the eye knows of them, and that color in shadows, far from being black, often strikes the eye more caressingly than in blinding sunlight...
